How to Use
Light one end of the 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, keeping the bundle away from curtains and anything flammable.
Once finished, extinguish it completely in sand and check that no embers remain.
Always use in a well-ventilated space, never leave burning herbs unattended, and avoid smoke around pets or anyone with breathing difficulties.
