Blue Sage Smudge Stick 8-10 cm.

Blue sage is a relative of the well-known white sage. Fine-leaved, it owes its name to its indigo-colored flowers. It grows in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It gives off an herbal yet floral aroma, similar to lavender and milder than that of white sage. It can be used to accompany meditation or simply to enjoy its fragrance and relax. It is also burned during purification and protection rituals. It is said to help connect with abundance and prosperity and to promote spiritual development and inner strength. Cultivation Our plants are harvested from both natural spaces and cultivated fields. Whatever their origin, the harvesters have legal authorization to do so. The process is simple: they cut the branches and leave the roots to allow for future harvests. Exports are controlled by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), which certifies that all legal and environmental requirements are met. Plant growth depends on the climate and annual rainfall. The size of the bundles, therefore, can vary from one harvest to another: a difficult season and less abundant harvests result in smaller bundles. In drought years, the concentration of essential oils is higher. How to use This purification ritual is a universal practice. 1. You need a bundle of dried sage tied with cotton, a feather or fan, and a heat-resistant bowl to catch the ash, such as an abalone shell. 2. Light the sage inside the bowl, preferably with a match. Blow to fan the flame and let it extinguish. Be careful with sparks! 3. Smudging: bring the smoke close to the people participating in the ritual. With the fan, direct it to the head, arms, legs, back... 4. Cleansing: move through the space to be purified with the bowl, dispersing the smoke with the feather or fan. Let your intuition guide you. Remember that intention is the basis of any smudging: if your heart is pure and your desire noble, you will enhance its effects. Ventilate after use. Do not inhale the smoke directly.
