White Sage & Sweetgrass Smudge Stick

Aboriginal & Native American cultures traditionally used smudge sticks in spiritual ceremonial practices. The burning of smudge sticks is called smudging. Smudging is used to cleanse a person, place or objects of negative energies, spirits or influences. Legend has it that negative energies attached themselves to the smoke and leave, making way for good and helpful spirits. 

It is commonly used to practice mindfulness and transcendental meditation.

White Sage- (Salvia apiana) is the best known and most popular of all the smudging herbs. The Latin word for sage ‘salvia’ stems from the word heal. Other qualities believed to be associated with sage when burned are giving wisdom, clarity, and increasing spiritual awareness.

Sweetgrass-(Hierochloe odorata) Also called Seneca grass, holy grass or vanilla grass. This very special herb's sweet vanilla-like scent is like the breath of the Earth mother, bringing the blessing of Mother Earth's love. Sweetgrass is burned to remind us of essence of the feminine and that the earth provides us with everything we need. Native tribes in North Americans consider it a sacred plant. It is usually braided, dried, and burned. Sweetgrass braids smoulder and doesn't produce an open flame when burned. Sweetgrass can also be carried or worn for protection.
