Meaning & history
Juniper is an evergreen long associated with cleansing and protection, and in many traditions it's burned to clear heavy or stagnant energy and invite positive influences into a space. Smudging itself is long associated with settling the mind and connecting to the spiritual, which is part of why juniper is often reached for to mark a fresh start or refresh a room. It's a natural companion to our rosemary sage smudge stick, and pairs well with tools for protection and grounding and balance and wellness.
How to use it
Light one end of the bundle and let it catch a small flame, then gently blow it out so the sprigs smolder and release a steady stream of smoke. Let the smoke drift through the space you want to cleanse, or waft it by hand toward corners and doorways, resting the bundle in a fire-safe bowl between passes.
Care & safety
Always burn over a heatproof dish or bowl, keep it well away from curtains, papers, and other flammable materials, and never leave it burning unattended. Extinguish it fully by pressing the tip into sand or ash after use. Browse more of our incense and smudge collection.
