Verbena Herbs

Verbena has been treasured as a sacred herb for centuries in many cultures, and it's a classic in the botanica too. Each order is one fresh bunch.

What is Verbena used for?

Verbena is used in spiritual baths and cleansings for peace, love and protection. People use it to calm a restless spirit, to attract love, and to protect themselves and their home from negative energy.

How do people use it?

• Peace baths: the leaves are torn into water for a calming bath after a stressful time.
• Love and attraction: it's added to sweet baths with other attraction herbs.
• Protection: the water is used to cleanse the home and entrances.

Many people combine it with Mar Pacífico or Albahaca. Your godparent or olorisha will tell you exactly how it fits into your own work, since every house has its own way.

Why buy it from El Viejo Lázaro?
