About
White sage has been burned for centuries by indigenous peoples of the Americas as a sacred herb for spiritual cleansing. Many people burn it to clear a space of stagnant or heavy energy and create a fresh, peaceful atmosphere before meditation, moving into a new home, or simply resetting a room. The aroma is earthy, herbaceous, and grounding.
How to use it
Light the tip until it catches, then gently blow out the flame so it smolders and releases fragrant smoke. Waft the smoke around the space you want to cleanse, holding the stick over a heat-safe dish or ash catcher to collect embers. Relight the tip as needed if it stops smoldering.

Safety & care
Always burn on a heat-safe surface, in a well-ventilated room with a window or door cracked open, and away from anything flammable. Never leave burning sage unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Store in a dry place to keep it fresh. This is a decorative, ritual herbal product, not a health product — item received may vary slightly from the photo.
