These long-lasting palo santo sticks make perfect smudging tools. Smudging is a ritual through which we cleanse the energy of a physical space, object, or person. These premium sticks of sustainably harvested palo santo smudging sticks are handpicked and packaged in 100% recyclable and biodegradable packaging. When burned, the sticks produce a fresh, aromatic scent. The smoke gives off a purifying, grounding effect that may help promote feelings of tranquility and peace. To use, light the tip of the stick and allow the wood to burn for under a minute before blowing out the flame. Relight as needed. Each stick is approximately 10cm (4in) long. Each pack contains 8 smudging sticks. Sustainably harvested in Peru in the community of manga manga. Luna Sundara only works with suppliers who utilize ethical, fair trade and sustainable practices.
