Indication
Traditionally the dried Imphepho herb was used to ‘smudge’ in ritual and ceremony to connect with the ancestors and clear dwellings of stagnant energy. The Khoisan bushmen and women anointed their bodies with the healing herb for its antimicrobial benefits. The Khoisan used the soft sleep-inducing herb to make a comfortable and aromatic stuffing for mattress; hence the name kooigoed. Insect repellant. Anti-microbial.
