Pericón / Santa María | Digestive Harmony, Calming Relief & Cleansing Support

The Remedy:

Pericón (Tagetes lucida)—also known as Santa María, Mexican Tarragon, Yerbanís, Pericón Anís, and Sweet Mace—is a traditional Mexican ceremonial and medicinal herb valued for its digestive, calming, and cleansing properties. Rich in anethole, flavonoids, aromatic oils, and gentle antimicrobial compounds, Pericón supports smooth digestion, emotional balance, and energetic purification.

Commonly used to ease indigestion, gas, bloating, stomach pain, menstrual discomfort, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and spiritual heaviness, Pericón also helps soothe inflammation and clear stagnant energy. Traditionally burned or brewed in rituals, it is known for its uplifting and protective qualities.

Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, smoke blend, spiritual bath, or infused ritual herb, Pericón / Santa María offers both physical comfort and emotional–energetic harmony.
