Product Description
Smudge – Palo Santo – 3 pieces
Palo Santo also known as Holy Wood or Bursera Graveolens is a wild tree that grows in South America and is primarily used by the people in Central and South America as an incense.
Palo Santo has a unique, pleasant and sweet aroma in its natural form. When burned, the smoke is said to clear negativity and evil spirits in much the same way as White Sage. Palo Santo is also great to raise your vibration before meditation.
Size: 10cm x 1.5cm x 3 sticks (approximately).
Our Palo Santo is sourced from Ecuador.
Awakening Lotus proudly supports the Native American tribal heritage, therefore, this product is grown and harvested traditionally by Native American people. It is also guaranteed to be spray and chemical free.
To smudge is to purify with smoke from certain sacred herbs. The sacred ritual of purifying with smoke comes from native people all around the world. White Sage is used in North and South America. Eucalyptus is used in Australia. Smoke may be used to purify the body, crystals, home, office and healing rooms. Great to repel mosquitoes and other insects too.
Smudge ceremonies are quite significant at Aphelion (when the earth is furthest from the sun), Perihelion (when the earth is closest to the sun), Equinoxes and Solstices. Sage is used in ceremony to cleanse and in prayer.
Loose sage is dried herbs, most commonly white sage. Often other herbs or plants are used or added. They have a strong pleasant aroma when burnt.
How to use: Loose smudge should be igited over a ceramic (heat resistant) bowl containing sand. Gently blow upon the glowing embers to produce smoke. After smudging extingush in sand and store for future use in a dry place.
