Smudge Sticks

Smudge sticks are frequently used by healers and readers prior to conducting sessions with clients. They can also be used for aura cleansing, such as before meditation or prayer. Smudging has been done for centuries to open a channel to the spiritual world or to sharpen intuition. Sage or smudge burning can improve one's mood and can be a powerful ally in the fight against stress.

Simple equipment is needed for burning smudge sticks, such as a seashell, ceramic bowl, or glass dish to hold the sage during burning or to catch the ash. Optionally, you can also use a feather or fan to fan the smoke.

By burning the plant, white sage, for instance, is used to banish bad energy. A strong, spicy scent is created throughout this process. Sage is used more frequently, although it is stronger than Palo Santo, which is its equivalent. Salvia Apiana is the plant's scientific name in its native Latin, and it grows entirely naturally. The smudges and loose sage leaves are available.
