White Sacred Sage Torches

Our organic white sage (Salvia apiana) is hand-harvested from the mountains in Northern California and are hand-bundled into torch-style sticks (4.5").  Absolutely no pesticides or growth hormones are used. Lush bundles are naturally sun dried for a simply  amazing all natural product. 

Native Americans and other indigenous people for centuries have burned sage as part of spiritual rituals to cleanse and purify a person or spaces, generate positive + uplifting energy, and to promote healing and wisdom.  

Salvia apiana, white sage, sacred sage or bee sage as it is also called due to bees flocking to the flowers of this native shrub hailing from the Southwestern U.S and northwestern Mexico. Gathered directly from the maker's land, our sage smudge sticks and torches are sustainably-harvested and support the preservation of this at-risk plant.

More modern research has that burning sage, also referred to as smudging, in a room for an hour reduced airborne bacteria by 94% percent. It also showed that the room stayed almost entirely bacteria-free for 24 hours. Some strains of harmful bacteria could not be detected for up to 30 days.

or any negative energies that might be in the space.

Sustainably Harvested and Made in the United States

How To Burn Sage - Also Known as "Smudging" : 

1. Make sure you are in a well ventilated room or area (it’s ok to open a window)
2. You’ll want to make sure to use a heat-proof bowl or abalone shell to hold your sage torch (both of which we sell here at 7ChakrasRUs;))
3. Once you’re ready, light the end of the sage bundle until it starts to smoke (we sell absolutely gorgeous matches btw)
4. Be sure to light the sage evenly and let it burn for just a few seconds (the flame should go out on its own)
5. State your intentions or your prayer, repeating your intention throughout your ritual, almost like smudging a prayer (if you need help with intentions, affirmations and mantras for your journey, we sell those cards here at 7ChakrasRUs too. Chances are if you’ve bought one of our natural botanical infused candles, artisan handcrafted organic soaps or any other naturally organic products made by Herbal Scent Candle & Co, there is an affirmation already attached. We have you covered when it comes to positive energy and holistic wellness). 
6. Carry your smoking sage wand or stick throughout your entire house to clear “all” your space (not just some of it). Be sure to use your authentic abalone shell or heat-proof bowl to catch any ashes of course (we’re not going to be held responsible for you dropping ashes all over your house or attempting to catch hot ashes with your bare hands ;) oh and please remember to use common sense and carefully move it at a safe distance around your entire body as you smudge yourself. * (must I remind you to keep out of the reach of children, pets and aging adults that are not capable of understanding safety any longer and do not leave your burning smudge stick or wand unattended).
7. Be sure to crack any windows or doors and visualize getting rid of any negative energy to help better focus your thoughts. “We take care of our bodies with exercise, good diets, and skin care, so why wouldn’t we take care of our energetic body as well?”
8. As the smoke rises, it takes your wishes and intentions and mingles them with the universe as a way to connect heaven, earth, and humanity.
