✨ How did our Smudge sticks get made?
Plants are harvested under the full moon. Some flowers are always left for pollinators like bees, and after bundling the plants, we air dry them. To bless them before using them to create magic. It takes a season to create our sacred smudge bundles

A smudge stick is created by bundling together dried herbs with healing properties.
Smudge sticks, also known as floral wands or smoke cleansing bouquets, have become increasingly popular due to their use in Native American traditional rituals of smudging with white sacred sage (salvia apiana).
✨ What is the history of smudging?
The smoke cleansing ritual refers to emitting perfumed smoke produced by herbs, resins, barks, leaves, and flowers that are burned and used to uplift the mood.
Many cultures and religions use smoke cleansing in temples, churches, ceremonies, and holistic health as a cleansing tool. However, people unaware of history may think smoke cleansing is just a Pagan or a green Witch ritual.
From the times of ancient Greece, the Mapuches tribes in Chile, the Virgins of the Sun of Peru, and the priestesses of the Mexicas temples, shamans, Native Americans and Australian Aborigines burned different plants to cleanse themselves and honour and connect with Pachamama, Gaia and the Great Spirit of Creation.
Is there any scientific research?
1./ The Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2007) published a study in which "medicinal smoke reduces airborne bacteria" and found that burning medicinal herbs for an hour in a closed room reduced the number of airborne bacteria by 94%."
2./ In China, there is a long history of using plant-derived smoke for hygiene, insecticidal, religious, warfare, and the combustion of incense during ceremonies and rituals has traditionally been an essential aspect of Buddhist, Confucian, and Daoist spiritual practices.
