White sage smudge with yerba santa S set of 2

Two white sage smudge bundles with yerba santa.

Yerba Santa is Spanish for ‘holy herb’, the name given to it by missionaries who were amazed by its healing power. This 100% natural smouldering herb not only provides a positive-acting scent, but is also ideal for protecting and purifying both yourself and your immediate surroundings.

Cleansing people, living spaces and objects with the smoke of white sage (Salvia Apiana) smudge is very effective and very popular in Western countries. Energy therapists and bodyworkers are also increasingly discovering its beneficial effects.

Smudge bundles are a completely natural, ceremonial incense that was, and still is, burned by indigenous peoples of the Americas during rituals and ceremonies.

Safety advice when using smudges:
Have a fireproof bowl or an abalone shell and a small bag of sand at hand. Light the end of the bundle and wave it briefly so that the flame goes out and the bundle keeps smouldering.

If the smudge is tightly bundled, blow on it a little extra to keep the herbs smouldering well. Perform the smudge ceremony with this smouldering bundle. Make sure to always hold the fireproof bowl under the smudge bundle.

At the end of the session or ceremony, you can extinguish the bundle in a small dish of sand (check carefully that it is really out) and keep the bundle for next time.
