Smudging
An Ancient Practice
Smudging is the practice of burning dried herbs as incense and using the smoke to cleanse one’s aura and one’s personal space of negative or stagnant energy. Many cultures believed that smudging was a way to send their prayers up to the heavens with the smoke. In Celtic traditions, the ancestors used to burn mixtures of herbs and flowers rather than smudging with one, single species of herb.
At Earth Mama’s Apothecary Ltd., we make all of our smudge sticks from organically grown herbs and/or herbs that we sustainably wildcraft from natural areas. Our smudge sticks are available seasonally, as the herbs mature and become ready to harvest. We hand roll our smudge sticks and tie them with cotton twine for safe burning.
To light a smudge stick, hold one end inside a flame for long enough to create bright, burning embers at the burning end of the stick and then blow out the flame. It is usually necessary to re-light the stick several times so repeat the process as necessary. Always burn the smudge stick in an ashtray or fire-safe container and never leave a burning smudge stick unattended. When finished smudging, extinguish the stick by stubbing out the lit end in an ashtray or fire-safe container. Save the remainder of the stick for future use.
Our smudge sticks are made with unique varieties of herbs and are guaranteed to be a minimum length of eight inches. We are currently offering 4 different kinds of smudge sticks, but this could change based on what is available to us.
