Palo Santo and Sage Smudge Cups, Banjara

Ready-to-use and mess-free, these smudge cups are small vessels of sacred herbs and resins that burn slowly and cleanly. Light the rim and let a steady ribbon of earthy, fragrant smoke rise — sweet, woody, and gently citrusy, the signature aroma of palo santo. Shaped to hold their form as they smolder, they release a calm, even stream of smoke that many cherish for cleansing a space and inviting a grounded, protective atmosphere. In parts of South America, palo santo — holy wood — has long been used in homes and gatherings as a fragrant companion for reflection, gratitude, and renewal. How to use: Place one cup on a heatproof surface (or the included metal plate). Light the rim, allow the flame to catch briefly, then gently blow it out to let it smolder. Use in a well-ventilated area, away from drafts. Never leave burning items unattended; keep out of reach of children and pets. A thoughtful ritual companion for clearing energy, blessing a room, or creating a quiet moment of stillness.
