Orris root (Iris florentina)
The orris root is the dried rhizome of the iris, also called knight's iris, a hybrid belonging to the group of bearded irises. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 30 to 80 centimetres. Irises are the plants of the Greek messenger of the gods, Iris, who had to lead the souls of the deceased along a rainbow into the realm of eternal peace.
The scent of the smoked root magically attracts the opposite sex. It also helps to release mental blockages.
