From time immemorial, the scents of hinoki (Japanese cypress) and kusunoki (camphor) have been used to purify Japan's holy places. In this tradition, Yohaku has created Japanese Smudge Sticks from the leaves and branches of these two hallowed trees, which are burned to create cleansing smoke in a manner seen among cultures around the world. Rid your home of negative energy and restore balance to your space.

To Use: Remove the smudge stick from the paper wrapping and light the tip, then place on a non-flammable plate. Re-light from the extinguished portion as needed. Each stick burns for 15-30 minutes, depending on the environment. (Note that smaller pieces of each bundle can also be removed and used separately.)
