1. White Sage

Smudging herbs is believed to cleanse negative energy and restore equilibrium for individuals, objects, or spaces. Furthermore, its soothing aromas help promote relaxation, stress relief and mood enhancement.

Smudging is an ancient ceremony with deep roots in Native American traditions. The ceremony is said to invoke all four elements: water (represented by the container); sacred plants such as sage and palo santo, gifts from Mother Earth; fire generated from burning these plants; and air which transports smoke produced during this process.

This white sage smudging kit includes two smudging sticks made of pure, clean white sage with antimicrobial properties and a pleasant aroma, ideal for clarity of thought and focus. In addition, there’s a stick of Palo Santo – holy wood from Bursera Graveolens trees native to South America that serves as natural insect repellent – included as well.

2. Palo Santo

Palo Santo, or Holy Wood as it’s more commonly known, is revered by shamans for its healing and purifying properties. It is said to help eliminate negative energy, ease illness, and help one discover their innermost self.

Palo Santo smudging purifies both the environment and people energetically, inspiring creativity as well as healing the physical body.

To use, gently wave the smoke around your home or surroundings while taking time to enjoy its soothing scent.
