What the 24-piece display contains
You receive a cardboard display box with 24 individual White Sage smudge bundles, each combined with a piece of Palo Santo wood. The bundles measure approximately 11×3 centimetres, and the total gross weight of the pack is approximately 903 grams. The display box can be placed directly on a shop counter or a home shelf.
The White Sage and Palo Santo combination
The base of every bundle consists of dried leaves of Salvia apiana, the white sage, to which a piece of Palo Santo wood is tied. The burning of aromatic plant material has a long history in Indigenous cultures of North America. Palo Santo is the heartwood of the Bursera graveolens tree, which lends a warm, resinous and lightly sweet nuance to the smoke, complementing the cleaner, drier, herbal character of the white sage.
How you can use it
Today the bundles are used as botanical incense for meditation, ritual practice, as accompaniment to bodywork, or to mark a transition or conclusion. Briefly light one end of the bundle, allow it to settle into a smoulder, then guide the smoke through the chosen space, around an object or around yourself. The bundles are packaged by weight, so the dimensions are indicative and may vary slightly.
Origin
The bundles are made in Mexico using traditional binding methods. The 24-piece display format suits both buyers with regular, more intensive use and larger households.
Safe use
Never leave a burning bundle unattended, always use it on a heat-resistant surface or dish, ensure adequate ventilation, and keep it away from children and pets. After use, make sure that the embers have cooled completely.
