Story Of The Smudge Stick

Smudge Stick Definitions

The Smudge Stick has a very long and distinguished history among Native American societies. But first, just what is a Smudge Stick? It is a tightly wound and pressed tube of dry herbal material that is used by igniting one end and then immediately blowing out the flame. This causes the lit end to smolder with a large output of thick, aromatic smoke. Such smoke, when produced by certain special herbs, has had a religious significance in Native American life since time immemorial. Each herb, when burned in a smudge stick, fulfilled a particular role in ceremonies. Throughout the Southwest and Northern Mexico the herb most commonly used as a Smudge Stick was White Sage (Salvia apiana). White Sage was believed to be a powerful purifier and psychic cleanser. It was held to dissipate even long-standing negative vibrations, vibrations which could obscure clear understanding and vital insight. So the Smudge Stick was the tool of choice whenever important events were about to be undertaken or significant rites begun.

Smudge Stick History

As more and more people became aware of Native Americans’ use of Smudge Sticks, they tried burning the Sticks themselves and came away amazed at the results. In fact, whatever your background or belief system, the Smudge Stick provides a wonderful method to clear the psychic atmosphere. It is quick and easy to employ and also produces a delightful aroma that has been shown to increase the negative ion content of the nearby air. Negative ions promote both internal and external health and are usually generated with expensive electrical devices. Smudge Sticks are a way that these helpful ions can be economically increased - with no increased utility bills! The purifying effect of White Sage Smudge Sticks can be helpful for relieving anxiety in a very wide variety of situations and environments: from pre-game or pre-test jitters to sales and conference rooms.
