Smudging Stick – White Sage and Sweet Hay 10 cm

🎁 White sage has been used to ward off evil spirits and purify a space or a person. But sweetgrass, also known as holy grass, has the opposite effect.

First, use the sage to remove unwanted energies, then the sweetgrass to attract the desired energy: the sage dispels negativity, and the sweetgrass brings positivity and harmony. For many, sweetgrass has a distinct, vanilla scent, while for others, its aroma is more reminiscent of a freshly mowed lawn or a freshly cut hay bale. The leaves of sweetgrass are sturdy yet very fine, almost like hair, which is why they are often braided. This may be why Native Americans also call sacred hay "Mother Earth's hair." Smudging can help purify the air: scientists have observed that sage can eliminate up to 94% of airborne bacteria and disinfect the air. Additionally, when burned, sage releases negative ions, which contribute to a positive mood. Smudging requires simple ingredients such as matches, smudging herbs, and a smudging bowl. Before you begin, consider opening a door or window, as the unwanted energy you are trying to clear needs to escape. Start by lighting one end of your smudging stick and let it ignite and burn for a few seconds. Then, gently blow on the lit end: the smudging stick will begin to glow and smoke. Place the smudging stick on a heat-resistant bowl to collect the ashes as it burns. Enjoy a unique fragrance that will awaken your senses with
