What the 24-piece display contains
You receive a cardboard display box containing 24 individual Yerba Santa smudge bundles. The bundles measure approximately 11×3 centimetres, and the total gross weight of the pack is approximately 903 grams. The cardboard display box can be placed directly on a shelf, so the bundles are presented in a clear and tidy way.
What Yerba Santa is
The bundles are made from dried leaves of Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon californicum), tied tightly together with cord. The use of aromatic plant smoke has a long history across various cultures in North America, where Yerba Santa was used in ritual and ceremonial contexts. Today it is chosen as a botanical incense for meditation, bodywork, or to mark a transition or conclusion.
The character of the aroma
The fragrance of Yerba Santa is warm, lightly sweet and balsamic. The resulting smoke is rounded and enveloping, so it is a particularly pleasant choice for those who prefer a deeper, warmer character either alongside or instead of the drier, more pronounced sage scents.
How to use it
Briefly light one end of the bundle and let it settle into a smoulder. Direct the smoke through a room, around an object or around yourself. The bundles are packaged by weight, so the dimensions are indicative and may vary slightly.
Origin and safety
The bundles are made in Mexico using traditional binding methods. 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.
