Im getting there, what is it for. In our community these branches are used for cleansing. Have you ever watched a movie with a lady or shaman sweeping a person with a bunch of green leaves? Well, these are it.
They can be used to clean a person from negative vibes and or a home. I personally have used this herb in several occasions. When you are cleansing a person you want to make sure they are standing in their front door with the door open and their back to the outside and you make sweeping motions as to sweep out the negative. You can also clean the home in the same way, start at the back door to the front of the house and out the front door.
I also like to hang a fresh bunch in my front door on the inside of the home to keep bad away.
Do you know what states these trees are native to? Once all this snow clears out I'll be curious to see if we have any here in northern Michigan.
