Set of 3 Plant Sticks of your Choice

The purification ritual is a universal practice that is said to promote mental clarity, joy and tranquility. Take advantage of the specific properties of each plant and use the stick that best suits each situation.

Using Plant Sticks

1. Use a heat-resistant container, such as abalone shell, and place yourself on a non-flammable surface. Bring a feather or fan.

2. Light one end of the stick, preferably with a match. Let it burn for a few seconds, then blow out the flame. Be careful, the leaves can fly away quite easily. Place the stick on the chosen container, taking care not to burn yourself.

3. For places: go through each of the rooms and guide the smoke with the feather or fan to the places you wish to purify.

4. For people: guide the smoke to the parts of the body to be purified, to the head, arms, legs, back, etc.

5. Wait for the stick to go out. According to Native American belief, it will continue to burn until its beneficial action is complete.

Remember that intention is the basis of any smudging ritual: if your heart is pure and your purpose noble, the effect will be enhanced.

Culture

The plants in our sticks come from 100% natural crops, which means that their growth depends on the climate and annual rainfall. The size of the bundles can therefore vary from one year to the next, depending on the vagaries of the seasons and the more or less abundant harvests. It is interesting to note that, during periods of drought, the concentration of essential oils in the leaves is higher.

As for our palo santo, it comes from fallen trees and complies with the regulations in force in Peru (the wood of the Bursera graveolens tree is not classified as CITES).

Ventilate the room after use. Do not inhale smoke directly.
