White Sage Smudge Bundle (Salvia apiana) 10 cm – California

White sage (Salvia apiana) is one of the best-known aromatic plants used for incense in North America. This compact smudge bundle consists of dried sage leaves and comes from California. The plant is traditionally burned there as incense and is known for its strong, distinctive fragrance.

In various North American incense traditions, white sage is associated with the ritual cleansing of spaces and preparation for meditation, prayer or other spiritual practices. These traditional uses are part of cultural and spiritual traditions and should not be understood as scientifically proven effects.

Fragrance Profile

When burned, white sage releases an intense, dry and herbaceous fragrance. Fresh, slightly resinous and subtly camphoraceous notes combine with a distinctive, long-lasting incense aroma. The resulting smoke is strong and clearly noticeable.

How to Use the Smudge Bundle

The smudge bundle can be used directly without incense charcoal:

• Light the tip of the bundle and allow the leaves to burn for a few seconds.
• Carefully blow out the flame so that the bundle continues to smoulder and release smoke.
• Guide the smoke through the room as desired or use the bundle as part of a traditional incense-burning practice.
• Then place the smouldering bundle in a heat-resistant incense bowl and carefully extinguish the embers.

The bundle can be used several times, provided it is completely extinguished after each use and stored in a dry place. Always use it on a fireproof surface and never leave it unattended while smouldering.
