This bundle belongs to the wider modern use of dried botanicals as a ritual object, often chosen to mark a threshold, focus attention, or bring a sensory pause into the day. It is best approached simply and respectfully: not as a borrowed ceremony, but as a quiet personal practice built around scent, smoke, care and intention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduct type: smudge stick\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBotanicals: sage with lavender\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLength: 22 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 120 g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I use underneath it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse a heat-proof bowl or dish to catch ash and protect the surface below.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as incense?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is different from a stick of incense.
