A smudge stick is created by bundling together dried herbs such as sage, sweetgrass, or lavender. These herbs have healing properties that absorb toxins and negative energy. Tying the herbs together with string or any flammable material intensifies the smoke. As you burn the smoke, it attaches to the negative energy in the room, removing it. You'll notice a real difference after burning a smudge stick, both in the way you feel and in the way the room you've purified feels.

It's not required to bind the herbs together in a stick, of course. You can burn the loose herbs to get a similar purifying result. However, bundling the herbs as a stick lets you move the herbs about the room easily, directing the smoke wherever you want it. You can use your hand or a feather to waft the sacred smoke throughout the space. 

Smudging is a simple ritual designed to clear negativity energy. It helps to re-energize, restore, and balance you or your space with peace, calmness, and positive intentions. 

You can smudge when you wake up, before you go to bed, for special occasions or holidays, before an interview  - whatever feels right to you, or whenever you’re in need of bringing peace and positivity into your space.

Yes, you can use the smudge sticks multiple times before they run out. It often depends on how often you smudge. 

When lighting your smudge stick, it's really important to get a good flame going before blowing it out (usually around 30 seconds). I find that using a candle or a lighter (as opposed to a match) is especially necessary when working with palo santo and desert sage smudge sticks. You can also try loosening up the string or sticking a skinny pencil in the middle of the stock to get airflow. This can help give a bit more oxygen and help it to burn longer.

Our sage smudge sticks are all natural and hand tied, so some of the wands can be tighter and more dense than others. This should definitely help with creating more smoke or smolder but even with a few of these tricks, there are times where you have to re-light it and fan it with your hand or a feather to get a good ember going and this is totally normal!

Each batch of our sage sticks are freshly dried. Sometimes older smudge sticks can burn faster, however, we find that the fresher the sage, the fresher the oils you'll get help to clear your space.

Generally, the smudge sticks fill your home with an an earthy, woodsy, and rustic scent. 

The oils found in sage or palo santo can help to repel insects and mosquitoes.
