Sage / Yerba Santa / Sweetgrass

Sage, Yerba Santa and Sweetgrass have been used for centuries to energetically cleanse spaces, objects and yourself. White Sage is known for its powerful, purifying smoke that releases old energy and makes room for something new. Yerba Santa, literally "holy herb", has a softer, warm scent and has long been associated with protection and opening the heart. Sweetgrass is the sweet finishing touch: where Sage cleanses, Sweetgrass invites positive energy in and brings calm and harmony back into the space. Light the bundle, blow out the flame and let the smoke drift slowly through the room, over your gemstones or along your body. This turns cleansing into a small ritual that clears your mind and lets your stones work fresh again.
