Sweetgrass is known as the hair of Mother Earth also known as “holy grass”. It is one of the four sacred herbs of indigenous North American peoples and is represented in the East on the traditional medicine wheel.
Sweetgrass has a long-standing history in Native American culture for cleansing and purifying the air much the same as white sage. With its fresh and clean aroma and antimicrobial properties, it is a wonderful hydrosol for room freshening and disinfecting, and skin care formulation for its astringency and delightful fresh aroma.
Subtle and honeyed with a green undertone, this hydrosol is a buoyant and refreshing room spray. It may also be added to lotions and body creams in place of water for uniquely sweet formulations or used as a base for outdoor sprays. Organic sweetgrass hydrosol contains coumarin, an organic compound present in many plants that provides the sweet scent.
