White sage (Indian sage) in the form of natural incense has for centuries been used in ritual ceremonies to decontaminate and purify a room from negative energy and bad emotions. Palo santo, on the other hand, is a very original, sweet and resinous wood that fosters tranquillity and concentration. Both of these incense products bring with them a dose of serenity.
The origins of the use of white sage for incense and smoke production date back to the traditions of indigenous Indian tribes. During shamanic rituals, white sage is sometimes burned as incense and the process is called - smudging. After lighting the sage leaves, the shamans distribute the smoke over the body and the people who take part in the ceremony. Beliefs indicate that the smoke cleanses the soul and the body of negative energy, and alsoprovides protection against evil spirits. The soothing and relaxing fragrance is empowering and removes negative feelings and thoughts.
Natural Palo Santo (Sacred Tree) incense is a creamy yellow piece of dried wood extracted from the naturally fallen, dead tree Bursera graveolens, which grows in the dry tropical forests of North America and Central America. The incense is characterised by a spicy and woody and delicately citrusy fragrance, with slightly powdery notes. The soothing and relaxing fragrance of this unusual wood still restores peace and balances the emotions.
When the incense is finished, leave the incense on the ceramic or stone stand until it extinguishes on its own, or extinguish it if necessary.
The incense can also be burned on chervil coals, after being crushed first.
Never leave lit incense unattended. Keep product away from children and animals.
