Ancestral knowledge of plants at the service of your spiritual journey. Ritual baths, fumigations, and phytotherapy with the right herbs for each purpose.
In Afro-Brazilian traditions, each herb possesses its own energetic vibration and is associated with one or more Orixás. Knowledge about the herbs, their names, powers, and uses is an essential part of the sacred knowledge transmitted in the terreiros.
A herbal bath is not just a physical bath: it is an energetic cleansing that removes dense energies, attracts blessings, and connects the practitioner with the force of the Orixá of that plant.
Smoke cleansing (defumação) purifies environments, wards off negative energies, and prepares the space for rituals and prayers. The smoke carries the intention to the spiritual planes.
