 Artemisia Californica / California Sagebrush has long been used by the Chumash People living along the coastal regions of Southern California to heal the emotional heart of the People. Bringing the people back to pleasant memories and times of goodness it is one of the most important medicinals in Coastal Southern California. I wish I could do more than show a visual image of this medicine. Also, words are not adequate to share the sweet aroma. It is a medicine that opens the heart to goodness. Personally, I place it near the rose in sweetness and heart opening goodness. I am so grateful to live in a region where this medicine is readily available.
With gratitude to The Earth for supplying this medicine for healing the hearts of the people.
