The name yerba santa is Spanish for 'holy herb'. Its uplifting, bright scent and clearing smoke make it a favourite among those looking for a character different from white sage. This set of two contains bundles tied with cord.
About yerba santa
Yerba santa (Eriodictyon glutinosum) is revered as sacred by both Native American and Spanish cultures. In tradition it is burned to clear a space and refresh the atmosphere, so that a brighter mood replaces heavy, unwelcome energies. A 100% natural plant incense.
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. Once lit, the bundle releases a dense, fragrant smoke that gently moves through a room.
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, and never leave it unattended.
Good to know
The set contains two bundles, each about 10 cm. The product is packaged by weight, so the length is only an indication and may vary slightly.
