Coralillo is the climbing vine with clusters of little pink flowers that grows over fences all over Cuba and South Florida. In the botanica it's valued as a sweet herb. Each order is one fresh bunch.
What is Coralillo used for?
Coralillo is used in spiritual baths for love, attraction and harmony. Its pretty pink flowers make it a natural fit for sweet baths, and many people use it when they want to bring tenderness back into a relationship or the home.
How do people use it?
- Sweet baths: the vine and flowers are torn into water, often with honey or other sweet herbs.
- Harmony in the home: the water is used to wash floors when there's tension in the house.
- Offerings: the flowers are placed on altars and with offerings.
It combines well with herbs like Botón de Oro and Paraíso. Your godparent or olorisha will tell you exactly how it fits into your own work, since every house has its own way.
