- With Root: a fresh Algarrobo plant with its natural root. Soil and a pot are not included.
Traditional Spiritual Use
Within some Lucumí, Santería, Cuban, and Afro-Caribbean traditions, Algarrobo is traditionally associated with Oggun and Shango. Fresh Algarrobo leaves may be included in omiero, spiritual baths, cleansing preparations, and other ceremonial herbal work. Exact uses and correspondences vary by lineage and practitioner, and traditional spiritual use does not guarantee a specific outcome.
Freshness & Natural Variation
This is a fresh natural product. Leaf size, color, stem thickness, fullness, and root development can vary from one bundle or plant to another. Open the package promptly after delivery. Keep fresh-cut Algarrobo cool and lightly hydrated until use. For the rooted presentation, protect the roots from prolonged drying, excessive heat, and cold stress.
Algarrobo Herb vs. Stick Algarrobo
