Frequently asked questions
How do I use a smudge stick?
Light the tip, let it catch for a moment, then gently blow out the flame so it smoulders. Walk slowly through the room with a bowl beneath for embers, open a window, and press the tip into sand or the bowl to put it out.
What do I say while smudging?
There are no fixed words. Many people say in their own words what they want to let go of or bring in, or simply keep quiet and breathe slowly.
How do I put it out safely?
Press the burning end into sand, soil or a heat-proof bowl until no smoke rises. Never leave it smouldering, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.
