Fresh Anamu (Guinea Hen Weed), commonly identified as Petiveria alliacea, is offered fresh for traditional botanical, cultural, religious, and spiritual use. Choose between cut Anamu without roots or a rooted plant, depending on how you plan to use or grow it.

Fresh Anamu Herb for Traditional Spiritual Use

Within Caribbean and Afro-diasporic botanical traditions, Anamu has long been used in spiritual preparations. It is traditionally associated with cleansing, protection, and ritual work, and may be incorporated into spiritual baths, washes, or other ceremonial preparations according to the practices of the individual tradition.

Choose Cut Anamu or a Rooted Plant

• Without roots: fresh-cut Anamu for spiritual baths, washes, and ritual preparations.
• With roots: a fresh rooted Anamu plant for customers who want the plant with its root system intact.

Because this is a natural fresh plant, leaf size, stem shape, color, and overall appearance can vary from one order to another.
