Wild Dagga 0.5oz
(Latin Name: Leonotis leonurus)(Also known as: Lion’s Ear, Lion’s Tail, Mother’s Comfort Smoke)
Brief History & Origin
Wild Dagga is the Herb of Euphoria, Sacred Calm, and Heart Elevation, traditionally used by the Khoisan and Xhosa people of South Africa as a ceremonial smoke, healing tea, and spiritual relaxant. Its bright orange flowers resemble a lion’s mane, symbolizing courage, heart energy, and spiritual bravery.
Wild Dagga is known as “Lion’s Ear” or “Mother’s Comfort Smoke”, because it helps the mind release worry, the body release tension, and the spirit soften into calm. In spiritual practice, it is used for meditation, grief healing, and dreamtime ceremonies, inviting the user to relax into peace while staying gently present.
