“Ceremonial Sage Bundles” Ceremonial Desert White Sage SALVIA APIANA, is a perennial that grows wild in Arizona, California and New Mexico. Sagebrush has been historically used by Native Americans for spiritual rituals, medicinal healing, cordage and basketry. The fruits, leaves and seeds are used fresh, dried or pounded into a meal. Desert White Sage is important for native wildlife and is eaten by sage grouse, rabbits, mule, deer and elk. White Sage has been studied for many uses in herbal medicine and a study performed by the University of Arizona in 1991 demonstrated that Salvia Apiana has some antiseptic, antibacterial and disinfectant properties. During cold & flu season many people believe that smudging the home can be an effective disinfectant. Traditional Smudging Ceremonies use the smoke, from burning the herb, as a way to cleanse the body, an object, or a specific area of negative influences or evil spirits. Wild Crafted & Handmade By Native Americans in Arizona, USA

Commiphora Myrrha
With its smoky earthy scent, myrrh resin is a favorite incense of many cultures. Native to Ethiopia and Somalia, it was used by the Egyptians for cremations & embalming as long ago as 3000 BC. Myrrh is one of the key ingredients in the mythical Egyptian perfume Kyphi. It has also been used to anoint kings & scent fabrics and clothes for those traveling to holy places. Myrrh has had great monetary value throughout history. The Romans valued it as much as gold, using it as security for monetary debts. One of the 3 gifts to Christ by the Magi, the resin is obtained by making deep cuts in the trunk of the tree lengthwise. Below this incision a narrow strip of bark is peeled off so the sap will run out. Sustainably harvested, the resin is burned as incense using charcoal tablets.

Boswellia Carteri
Frankincense has been known for its healing powers & the belief to improve communication with the Creator for thousands of years, long before it was given to baby Jesus. There are over 52 references to it in the Bible. Egyptian records show that it was used in cosmetics, perfumes & as an embalming agent. The Chinese used it as part of a treatment for leprosy. Grown predominantly on the Somali Coast & parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the resin is obtained by making a deep cut in the trunk of the tree lengthwise. Below this incision a narrow strip of bark is peeled off allowing the sap to run out, and as it touches air it begins to harden. It takes approximately three months to harden into the yellow "tears". Sustainably harvested, the resin is burned as an incense using charcoal tablets.
