This sacred plant will allow you to cleanse the energies of all your crystals, your environment and yourself to regain a sense of peace and clarity – expel negativity and encourage creative energy.

The leaves of the plant are a whitish-green, and if you rub the fresh leaves between your thumb and forefinger, a refreshing, cleansing scent is released.
