A 4-inch bundle of lemon balm and peppermint — two familiar kitchen-garden herbs, bound and dried for burning. The smoke is brighter and greener than sage: citrusy from the lemon balm, cool and sharp from the peppermint, and altogether lighter on the nose.

If white sage has ever felt like too much for a small apartment or an everyday clearing, this is the gentler alternative. It is a good bundle for the ordinary Tuesday rather than the big ceremony — for opening a window, clearing the kitchen, and starting the afternoon again.

At a glance

  • Size: 4-inch bundle
  • Botanicals: Lemon balm and peppermint
  • Character: Bright, green, citrusy and cool — lighter than sage
  • Best for: Everyday clearing, small spaces, a gentler alternative to sage
  • Sourcing: From a house that never wild-harvests white sage from national parks or Native land

How to use it

  1. Light the end of the bundle with the fewest stems and let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so it smolders.
  2. Waft the smoke with your hand or a feather, or rest the bundle on a heat-resistant surface such as an abalone shell.
  3. Move through the room clockwise, paying attention to corners, doorways, and any space that feels heavy.
  4. Open a window so the smoke — and whatever it carries — has somewhere to go.
  5. Press the lit end out completely in sand or a shell. Never leave a smoldering bundle unattended.

The ceremonial triad

Sacred smoke Its role in the ceremony When to reach for it
Sweetgrass Calls the energies forth At the very start, to open the space
White Sage Clears and cleanses In the middle, to sweep out what is stale
Palo Santo Raises the vibration At the close, to lift the room

✨ Temple Tip — keep this one by the kitchen window

Herbal bundles like this suit the small, frequent clearings rather than the big ceremonial ones. Keep it somewhere you pass every day, and light it for thirty seconds when a room needs resetting rather than saving it for an occasion that may never quite arrive.

Questions we get asked

How is this different from a white sage bundle?

Lemon balm and peppermint burn brighter and lighter than white sage. Many people find them better suited to small spaces and everyday clearing.

Do you wild-harvest your sage?

Never. White sage should not be picked from national parks or Native lands — that is not ours to take. Our sage is sustainably farmed in Mexico.

Should I check with anyone before burning herbs?

Please speak with a healthcare professional before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.

How do I put it out safely?

Press the smoldering end into sand or a heat-resistant shell until no smoke rises. Smudge wisely, and with adult supervision where appropriate.

Is this a health or medical product?

No. Our crystal and herbal products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and nothing here has been evaluated by the FDA. They are ritual and spiritual tools. Please consult a healthcare professional for medical questions, and speak with one before using herbal products if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.

When will it ship?

Ships within 3 business days from our US fulfillment partner.

Smudge responsibly, or with adult supervision. Loved by ritual keepers across Europe, and now finding its way to American altars.

In short

This is a 4-inch smudge stick from Sacred Crystals made from lemon balm and peppermint rather than sage. The smoke is brighter and greener than white sage — citrusy from the lemon balm, cool from the peppermint — and lighter in a small room. Practitioners use it for everyday clearing: a kitchen, a small apartment, an ordinary afternoon reset rather than a full ceremony. One bundle is $6.95. It contains no white sage, so it does not fill the clearing role sage plays in the ceremonial triad.
