California sage with lavender smudge stick

Smudge sticks are bundles of herbs – white sage, lavender, or Yerba Santo, Eucalyptus, rose petals and such aromatic herbs bound together by a twine.

Burning these herbs can prevent illness, ward off negative energy, or cleanse a space, person or group, is a tradition that goes back thousands of years. Native Americans used sage and sweetgrass in ceremonies. Plants have been used for their healing properties across many cultures since the beginning of time.

When you smudge, you participate in a sacred, ancient ritual.

Inhaling these scents can calm your thoughts, bring inner peace and cleanse or declutter your mind.

Use this form of aromatherapy to reduce stress, balance your energy, and cleanse your home. Burning smudge sticks also helps create a spiritual atmosphere at your meditation room and during divination or a healing session.
