Esfand, aka Peganum Harmala or Syrian Rue, is a religious herb that has been used since the beginning of Zoroastrianism, 2nd millennium BCE.
Inspired by Iran
We are excited to offer an alternative to using regular Esfand seeds with our incense! Having an open fire for extended periods of time or lack of access to Esfand seeds make it difficult for many to take part in this beautiful cleansing ritual.
Using an Esfand incense is a quick and simple way to cleanse a location if you don’t have access to coals, a stove, Esfand seeds, or an Esfand burning tool. An all-in-one package; great for on-the-go!
It’s used to cast away sorrow, illness, and negative energy, like the evil eye. When used, it is tradition to circle the smoke over ones’ head to cleanse them from the evil eye before continuing to cleanse the rest of the house.
