White Sage & Rosemary Smudge Stick 8 to 10 cm.

This bundle of white sage and rosemary offers you the properties of both plants. White sage It is a renowned medicinal and aromatic plant: its scientific name is Salvia apiana, from the Latin salvare - to heal. Most of its properties are concentrated in the leaves, which absorb solar energy and produce a large amount of essential oils. Celtic druids used it to increase their wisdom and during their healing and protection rituals. Many Native American cultures smudged with sage to purify body and spirit. Rosemary It is so common that we forget its properties. It is a toning plant that activates good vibrations and cleanses bad energies. It is also used in protection rituals to bless people and places. After burning, it creates a healthy environment that exudes peace and well-being. 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 (U.S. 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 can therefore vary from one harvest to another: a difficult season and less abundant harvests result in a smaller bundle. In drought years, the concentration of essential oils is higher. How to use the bundle The 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 collect the ashes, such as an abalone shell. 2. Light one end of the bundle, preferably with a match. Blow to fan the flame and let it go out. Be careful with sparks! Then place it on top of the shell. 3. Smudging: bring the smoke close to the people participating in the ritual. With the feather, 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. 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 smoke directly.
