White Sage & Rosemary Bundle 8 to 10 cm.

This bundle of white sage and rosemary provides you with the properties of both plants.

White Sage
It is a well-known 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 the sun’s energy and produce a large amount of essential oils.
The Celtic Druids used it to increase their wisdom and during their healing and protection rituals. Many Native American cultures used sage as incense to purify body and spirit.

Rosemary
It is so common that we forget its properties. It is a tonic 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 atmosphere that exudes peace and well-being.

Cultivation
Our plants are harvested from both natural areas and cultivated fields. Regardless of their origin, the harvesters are legally authorized 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 (United States 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, therefore, can 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 will need a bundle of dried sage tied with cotton, a feather or fan, and a heat-resistant container to collect the ashes, such as an abalone shell.
2. Light one end of the bundle, preferably with a match. Blow on it to fan the flame and let it die down. Be careful of 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 their heads, arms, legs, backs…
4. Cleansing: Walk around the space to be purified with the container, dispersing the smoke with the feather. Let your intuition guide you.
Remember that intention is the foundation of any smudging ritual: if your heart is pure and your desire noble, you will enhance its effects.

Ventilate after use. Do not inhale the smoke directly.
