A lit smudge stick should not be left burning while unattended, and care should be used when extinguishing smoldering sticks.

Each wand is considered a sacred herb used for centuries by Native Americans in the smudging ceremony. "Smudging" is the name given to the burning of these sacred herbs for the purpose of cleansing and sending out prayers. Today, people are smudging to receive the benefits known to our Native American brothers and sister for generations.
