Did You Know? As a traditional medicinal herb, Imphepho must be harvested with respect. Before entering the area where the Imphepho grows, one must always ask permission of the guardian or grandfather – which may be a very large or old tree growing nearby. Before the plant is cut, one must ask if it agrees to be medicine, and explain why it is needed.

Directions:

• Holding the smudge stick by the “handle” end & use a lighter to ignite the tip.
• Blow out any open flames so that the leaves slowly smoulder.
• Wave the smudging wand around a room, person, or objects to direct the fragrant, cleansing smoke.
• Catch the ashes in a heat-resistant dish (such as a regular plate filled with sand).
• Smudge sticks can be extinguished in a dish of sand and re-used many times.
• We have included a prayer for you should you wish to use it.

Caution:

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Never leave burning smudge unattended.
