Traditional Spiritual Use

Within some Cuban, Caribbean, and Afro-diasporic spiritual traditions, the Ceiba tree is traditionally regarded as sacred and its leaves are used in baths, omiero, cleansing preparations, devotional herbal work, and other ritual practices. Associations and preparation methods vary by lineage and practitioner. Traditional spiritual use does not guarantee a specific outcome.

Freshness & Natural Variation

This is a fresh botanical product, so leaf size, color, stem thickness, and overall fullness can vary naturally from bundle to bundle. Open the package promptly after delivery. If you are not using the herb immediately, keep it cool and lightly hydrated and use it while fresh.
