How to use it
-
Light the end with the fewest stems — not the leafy end — let it flame, then blow it out so it smolders.
-
Hold it over a heat-proof dish the whole time. An abalone or lion's paw shell is traditional; any ceramic bowl works.
-
Waft the smoke through the space, using a feather if you have one, or set the bundle down on the dish and let it work.
-
To cleanse stones and jewelry, hold them steadily in the smoke until it flows in a straight stream upward after circling the piece.
-
Extinguish it completely by pressing the lit end into the dish, then store it dry. One bundle lasts many sessions.

✨ Temple Tip — let it go out on its own timing, then relight
Palo santo behaves differently from leaf: the wood tends to self-extinguish after thirty seconds or so while the sage keeps smoldering. That is not a defect in the bundle. Relight it as often as you need — a blended bundle used this way lasts considerably longer than a pure sage one.
Questions we get asked
How big is the bundle?
Approximately 4 inches.
What is palo santo?
A sacred wood, traditionally burned for cleansing. Here it is bound together with white sage.
Why does it keep going out?
Wood self-extinguishes faster than leaf. Simply relight it as needed.
Where does the sage come from?
A farm in Mexico. White sage should never be harvested from national parks or native land.
Is it safe around pets or asthma?
We would not burn it around birds, asthma, or small children. Smoke is a respiratory irritant.
Care & safety: Never leave a smoldering bundle unattended, and make sure it is completely out before you leave the area. Burn over a heat-proof dish and carry the dish with you. Keep out of reach of children and animals and away from anything flammable. Ventilate during and after — smoke is a respiratory irritant regardless of what is burning, and it is not suitable around asthma, small children, or birds.
