Lavender & White Sage Smudge Stick
Lavender is one of the most important folk remedies in the world. Still used in church incense blends today. Gives clarity and purity, brings peace and gentleness to our experiences.
Cleansing with white sage (Salvia Apiana) smudge of people, living spaces and objects with smoke, is very effective and very popular in western countries. Energy therapists and body-workers are also increasingly discovering its beneficial effects.
Smudge bundles are a completely natural, ceremonial incense, which were and are burnt during rituals and ceremonies among indigenous peoples in the Americas.
Safety advice when using smudges:
Provide a fireproof bowl or abalone shell and a bag of sand. Light the end of the bundle and fan it for a while so that the flame goes out and the bundle continues to smoulder.
If the smudge is tightly bundled, blow extra to keep the herbs smouldering properly. With this smouldering bundle, perform the smudge ceremony. Make sure the fireproof bowl is kept under the smudge bundle at all times.
After the end of the session or ceremony, you can extinguish the bundle again in a bowl of sand (check carefully that it is actually out) and keep the bundle for another use.
Please note that this item is packaged by weight. The length is for indication only and may vary.
To apply the protective cleansing power of smudging, a bundle of leaves or resin is heated to produce smoke that is brushed over the person or object, often with a feather fan. Some plants are known to have specific healing properties while others have more generic powers.
