Smudge Stick - White Sage & Ruda 10cm

Embrace the timeless ritual of smudging with this sacred blend of Ruda and White Sage. For centuries, these revered herbs have been used to cleanse energy, invite protection, and restore a sense of calm to any space.

Ruda is a magical herb long celebrated for its protective qualities. Traditionally, a pinch is carried in a small cloth bag or placed above the front door to keep negative energy from entering the home. Some traditions also believe it can be used in powerful love spells, making it a meaningful addition to your spiritual practice.

White Sage (Salvia apiana) is a desert plant used in rituals and ceremonies for centuries to invite blessings of health, prosperity, and protection. It is often burned for cleansing and purifying spaces.

Smudging may also help clear the air. Scientists have observed that sage can clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria, helping to disinfect the air. When burned, sage also releases negative ions, which is linked to promoting a positive mood.

To smudge, you will need just a few simple ingredients: matches, your smudging herbs, and a heatproof bowl. Before you begin, open a door or window so the unwanted energy has a pathway to leave. Light one end of your smudge, allowing it to catch fire and burn for several seconds, then gently blow on the lit end until the smudge begins to glow and release smoke. Place the smudge in your heatproof bowl to catch the ashes as it burns.
