Yerba santa translates as ‘Holy Herb.’ In Native American and Spanish cultures, it is regarded as sacred (please see important information tab). It is believed to have healing powers and is used to neutralize negative energies. As a result, it is known to protect and purify both the environment and the user. Our yerba santa smoke cleansing sticks are 100% natural and tied lovingly together with a piece of cord. Used on their own, they can replace the traditional sage smoke cleansing sticks. However, for optimum results, use them after cleansing with sage. Since it is believed that sage will cleanse the energy within space, and yerba santa will then lift the energy higher. Until you are ready to use it, we recommend that you store your smoke cleansing stick in a dark, dry place.
Never leave a burning smoke cleansing stick unattended. Only ever place in a heatproof container and do not place the container on a flammable surface. Keep away from children and pets and do not ingest. Also, make sure you dispose of used sticks safely.

Smoke cleansing is closely tied to the spiritual practice of smudging by Native American / Indigenous Nations. White sage, palo santo, sweetgrass, and many other plants used for burning are considered sacred medicine by the Native American / Indigenous Nations. It is, therefore, essential that to avoid cultural appropriation and exploitation that you understand the cultural history of these items. As well as the history of suppression forced upon these native populations, where they were forbidden to practice their culture, language, and traditions, including smudging, until 1978 and the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. Even with the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, Native American / Indigenous Nations still find themselves continually persecuted for various reasons. When purchasing sage and other plants used for burning, it is essential to ensure that they are ethically sourced and that there is no over-harvesting of these sacred medicines. And where possible, always support the Native American and Indigenous Nations.
Light the top of this smoke cleansing stick and lightly fan it to extinguish any flames and allow the leaves to smolder gently. Holding it over a heatproof container walk through your space. Start at the door of the space to be cleared and move in either the direction in which the door opens (if the door opens into the room) or in a clockwise direction. Allow the smoke to fill the space as you move around the room, ensuring it reaches all corners and areas of the room, clearing negative energies and replacing them with a positive flow. You may fan the smoke with your hand or a feather. As you walk around the space doing this you are systematically sweeping all the negative energy out of the door.
To cleanse your crystals with the yerba santa cleansing stick, hover the stick over your crystals allowing the smoke to permeate each crystal. When you are finished place your yerba santa stick in a fireproof container and extinguish it. Ensure the area is ventilated well.
