As with all smudges, incense resins, herbs & wood, use caution when lighting and burning. Always use a heat proof container (like an abalone shell) and always keep away from children, pets and flammable items. Please take caution and care when burning.

Sage has been considered a sacred, cleansing, purifying, and protective plant for hundreds of years. It is an evergreen perennial shrub that is found mainly in the coastal sage scrub habitat of Southern California and Baja California, on the western edges of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. 

Sage smudging is a powerful cleansing technique used by the indigenous people for thousands of years in order to remove negativity and invoke positive energy. Use our smudge sticks to cleanse a space, person, object or your own mind, body and spirit.

To use your smudge, begin by ensuring your space is well ventilated for effective cleansing. Place the sage bundle on a glass or ceramic surface and light one end of the herbs.  An abalone shell may also be traditionally used.  As the flame appears, put the herb out so it will smolder and smoke. You may cleanse yourself first by encircling the smoke around you. Use a feather or fan to direct the smoke to the areas or persons in need of cleansing.
