It possesses a unique energy and, since ancient times, has been believed to ward off impurities that water and salt cannot cleanse, bringing good fortune. It is said to purify oneself, cleanse spaces, align energy, release stagnant energy, and attract positive flow. ⚫︎Amulets ⚫︎Room decorations ⚫︎For meditation Sweeping with it like a broom purifies negative energy and spreads the energy of the Seima hemp.
