How to Use
Light one end of the Black Sage bundle and allow it to catch briefly before gently blowing out the flame.
Hold it over a heatproof dish and allow the smoke to drift through your space.

Always burn in a well-ventilated space, never leave unattended, and avoid exposing pets or anyone with breathing difficulties to the smoke.
