The significance of Native American medicine rattles is evident in the way they’re used. They’re considered a cherished tool for storytelling and the purification of soul, body, and mind.

Rattles are common at festive and spiritual gatherings alike and frequently used as an accompaniment to tribal dances and ceremonies. They help maintain the music’s rhythm and complement the beat of both handheld and multi-user powwow drums.

Rattles are believed to have potent healing properties. Native Americans believe that spiritual energy stems partially from the trancelike state we enter when exposed to music. The rattle’s cleansing sound can unblock unwelcome energies and heal the body of troubling ailments. It helps open the mind and can positively shift people’s moods. Often, though not always, rattles are used to expel the mind of worries prior to prayer.
