MoyaMpepho, or Impepho (African Sage), is a species of medicinal herb indigenous to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and sacred to the African people. In South Africa, Impepho is known as a healing plant with antibacterial and antiviral properties. Burned in a manner similar to incense or sage, it eliminates odors, cleanses the air and provides a calming effect to those who use it.

The burning of MoyaMpepho can assist in alleviating coughs, fevers and the symptoms of asthma related diseases by opening lungs like a natural bronchodilator.

MoyaMpepho is 100% pure, unrefined Impepho, ethically cultivated and wild harvested from the Eastern Cape of South Africa (outside of Mthatha). It is shipped to the United States via fair trade.

MoyaMpepho is primarily burned as incense or sage. Simply place the MoyaMpepho in an incense burning apparatus (preferably brass, ceramic or stone) and light it.

YES, correctly burned as incense or sage, MoyaMpepho is safe and can cleanse and improve the air quality in an enclosed room/location.

We are closely monitoring the situation with tariffs against South African imports, and we are firmly committed to holding off on any MoyaMpepho price increases for the remainder of 2025. If we ultimately have to adjust our prices for 2026, then we will inform our customers by November 1, 2025.

Thank you for your continued support of our mission to provide Mother Africa's Tranquil Treasures.

While MoyaMpepho is currently provided as an incense or sage to burn, we are working on future MoyaMpepho products including:

  • Oils and soaps used for healing and cleaning skin from burns and other irritations.
  • Tea for helping with the adverse effects of the cold, flu and COVID.
  • Candles for relaxing, aromatherapy, cleansing the air and improving air quality.
