Invite the Relaxing Energy of Mint

Mint has always been associated with calm — whether in the form of a cup of mint tea on evenings when sleep won't come, or the slow diffusion of an essential oil.

That same sense of relaxation can be felt even more intensely when mint is combined with white sage in the form of incense.

Mystical white sage is known for driving negative energy out of spaces, people, and our surroundings. Mint, in turn, will call soothing energy into our space and help us release stress.

Product Properties

• Organic white sage, sustainably grown in California.
• Organic mint, sustainably grown in the Netherlands.
• The bundle measures approximately 11 cm in length.

Instructions for Use

We gently and slowly light the bundle over a flame. We recommend lighting it over the flame of a candle. Direct lighting with a lighter is not recommended, as it introduces unpleasant odours into the process. We want the lighting process to feel natural — just as it was done thousands of years ago.

When lighting the bundle for the first time, we allow a small flame to form. It is important that we do not blow the flame out. The Indigenous peoples of the Americas believe that by blowing out a flame you release and extinguish your own soul from your body. We therefore prefer to turn the white sage with sweetgrass vertically upward (so the flame is on the upper side), where it will naturally go out on its own and begin releasing a pleasant and deeply relaxing scent.

If the flame does not go out on its own, we gently wave it through the air to extinguish it with the breeze.

Space Cleansing

With the smouldering bundle in hand, we walk through the space and make slow, circular movements as we go. This extends the smouldering.

We recommend holding a small dish beneath the smouldering bundle with your other hand, to catch any embers that may fall and prevent damage to objects in your space.

If we wish to cleanse the space of negative energy and protect it from any further intrusion of unwanted elements, we walk through every corner of the space with the incense, gently wrapping the room in smoke. We take care not to forget the corners of the space, where negative energy tends to especially like to gather. We then place the white sage with sweetgrass in a fireproof bowl and allow it to go out on its own.

No need to worry — the incense will not burn down completely, and you will be able to use it many more times.

Prosperity, Growth and Spiritual Healing

We light the relaxing mint combined with white sage whenever we wish to clear our minds of all the clutter that keeps us from taking the next step in life. We surrender to its magic, to its soothing energy, and we call in prosperity and growth.
