What is wild-crafted White Sage?
This White Sage (Salvia apiana) comes from plants growing naturally in the United States. It is wild crafted, which means it is not cultivated and receives no treatment; the plant is 100% natural, although it carries no official organic certification. After harvest the leaves are only dried; no other process is applied.
What the loose cluster format means
In the 350 g cardboard box you find smaller, hand-formed sage clusters, not bound smudge sticks. This format lets you dose flexibly: for each session you take out the amount you really want to burn, and the box can be closed and stored in a dry place.
How it is used
White Sage smudging is, in many Native American traditions, a way of cleansing places and objects. Many people use it at home when moving in, after a busy day to refresh the air, or to open a quiet evening. The scent of the smoke is distinctly camphor-fresh.
How to smudge with it
Place a small cluster in a heatproof bowl or shell, light it at the edge, then blow out the flame so it smoulders. Spread the smoke through the room with gentle fanning. You may open a window so the smoke can flow outwards. It is natural for the leaf to go out; gently relight it if needed.
Storage and safety
Store the box in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight, kept closed so the leaf keeps its scent. Never leave smouldering sage unattended; use a fireproof vessel. Keep away from children and animals. If you are asthmatic or sensitive in the airways, smudge in a well-ventilated space or ask a professional.
