Wild Rue Seeds-Esphand is an aromatic seed commonly used to create incense. It is usually burned with some other seeds/ combination of dried flowers to create different aromas. In Iran and many neighboring countries in the region, "Esfand" (or more correctly pronounced as "espand") is burned with the intention "to take away the evil eye" or ill tended thoughts. It is also thought to have antiseptic properties. This is a tradition that has been passed down through generations from the days of Zoroastrianism. The idea is to burn "Esfand" seeds during which time the seeds make a popping sound, then the smoke that emits off of the burning seeds must be circled around one’s head and home! The smoke and the popping sound are believed to take away the evil and ill tended thoughts!
Our sage Espand medley is a combination of our wild rue seeds, sage oil and sage leaves. The sage leaves enhance the aromatic as well as antiseptic properties of the Espand.
