This set of two unites white sage bundles with yerba santa. To sage's balsamic smoke, yerba santa adds an uplifting, bright scent, creating a light, positive mood.
Sage and yerba santa together
The clearing smoke of white sage (Salvia apiana) is loved in Western practice for moving through spaces, people and objects. The name yerba santa is Spanish for 'holy herb'; tradition knows it as an uplifting, protective and cleansing incense. Together the two plants bring clarity and a bright lightness.
About the smudging tradition
A smudge bundle is an all-natural ceremonial incense, traditionally used in Native American cultures to cleanse spaces, people and objects. Clearing a space with plant smoke is an ancient practice that lives on in many parts of the world today. It now accompanies meditation, quiet moments and the marking of transitions.
How to use it
Light the end of the bundle, then let it smoulder with gentle fanning and guide the smoke towards the space or object. Ventilate well afterwards. Always rest the smouldering bundle in a fireproof bowl or shell, away from children and pets, and never leave it unattended.
Good to know
The set contains two bundles, each about 11 × 3.5 cm, hand-tied from natural materials. Every bundle is unique.
