Preparing your bundle for smoke clearing requires focus and a fire-safe vessel:

• Hold the bundle at a 45-degree angle and ignite the leafy end with a match or taper candle. Because of the resin, it may take an extra moment to catch or crackle slightly.
• Let the flame burn for several seconds, then gently blow it out so the botanicals begin to smolder and release thick smoke.
• Using a feather or your hand, waft the smoke into the corners of your room, focusing heavily on doorways and windows to establish a protective boundary.
• Hold a fire-safe bowl or shell underneath the bundle as you walk to catch any falling embers or melting resin.
• Always extinguish the bundle completely by pressing the burning end firmly into sand or the bottom of your fire-safe dish until no smoke remains.

1. Do I have to burn the entire bundle at once?

Not at all. A single 4-inch bundle can be used for multiple clearing sessions. Simply extinguish the ember when you are finished by stamping it out in a fire-safe bowl, and relight it the next time you need to clear your space.

2. Why does this bundle look red?

The distinctive red color comes from the Dragon's Blood resin. Our white sage bundles are carefully coated in this natural tree resin to combine the sweeping properties of the sage with the fierce protective qualities of the resin.

3. Why does my bundle keep going out?

These are tightly bound natural leaves coated in resin, which are meant to smolder rather than hold a continuous open flame. If it stops smoking, simply relight the end and gently blow on the embers to feed them oxygen.

4. What is the safest way to store this between uses?

Once completely extinguished and cool, store your bundle in a dry, dark place—like a wooden box or a glass jar—to preserve the essential oils and keep the resin safe from moisture.
