Explore the Tulsi Range

Whether you love the distinctive herbal scent of white sage or the warm, woody fragrance of palo santo, Tulsi has a lovely little collection to explore. Both have a long history of use in traditional rituals and are popular choices for meditation, quiet reflection or simply enjoying their natural aromas at home. If you're new to smudging, we'll help you understand the differences and find something you'll enjoy.

Tulsi White Sage Smudge Sticks

White sage has a beautiful, earthy herbal fragrance that's quite distinctive. The dried leaves are gathered into a bundle and tied together, ready to be lit briefly and allowed to smoulder. You only need to burn a little at a time to enjoy the aroma, and the same bundle can be used again and again.

White sage holds cultural and spiritual significance for some Indigenous communities in North America, where it has traditionally been used in cleansing and ceremonial practices. Today, people from many different backgrounds also enjoy burning white sage during meditation, while setting intentions or as part of their own personal rituals. For some, it's simply a lovely way to create a peaceful moment at home.

Choosing Your White Sage Size

Tulsi white sage smudge sticks come in three sizes, so you can choose a little bundle to try or something larger to keep on hand. There's also a handy three-pack if you prefer smaller sticks.

Small 8cm: A lovely place to start if you've never tried white sage before. It's compact, easy to handle and ideal if you only want to burn a little at a time.
Medium 18cm: A good choice if you already enjoy white sage and would like a larger bundle for regular use.
Large 22cm: The biggest white sage smudge stick in the Tulsi range, perfect for those who love the fragrance and use it often.
Small 8cm three-pack: Three individual small smudge sticks, handy for keeping a spare or sharing with someone who enjoys white sage too.

There's no need to burn your whole smudge stick in one go. Light it briefly, enjoy the fragrance and extinguish it completely when you're finished. You can relight it whenever you'd like to use it again, so even a small bundle can last through several sessions.

Tulsi Peruvian Palo Santo

Palo santo is a little different from white sage. Rather than dried leaves, it's a naturally aromatic wood with a gorgeous warm, slightly sweet fragrance. You'll often notice woody, resinous notes that give it a very different character from the stronger herbal scent of sage.

Traditionally used in parts of South America, palo santo is now enjoyed by people around the world during meditation, personal rituals or simply for its distinctive aroma. Tulsi Peruvian Palo Santo comes in a pack of three individual wood sticks.

To enjoy the fragrance, light one end of the wood, let it catch briefly, then gently blow out the flame and allow it to smoulder over a heat-resistant dish. You can extinguish it completely and save the rest for another time.

White Sage or Palo Santo?

If you're deciding between the two, it really comes down to the fragrance you enjoy. White sage has a stronger, earthy herbal scent, while palo santo is warmer, woodier and slightly sweet. Both can be enjoyed a little at a time, so you don't need to commit to burning a whole stick in one session.

If you love fresh, herbal aromas, white sage might be your favourite. If you're drawn to warm, woody fragrances, give palo santo a try. And if you enjoy both, there's no reason you can't keep a little of each on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tulsi

What is a white sage smudge stick?

A white sage smudge stick is a bundle of dried sage leaves tied together, ready to be lit and enjoyed for its beautiful, earthy herbal fragrance. White sage has a long history of use in cleansing and ceremonial traditions among some Indigenous North American communities. Today, many people also enjoy its distinctive aroma during meditation, personal rituals or simply when they want to create a peaceful atmosphere at home.

What's the difference between white sage and palo santo?

The biggest difference is the fragrance. White sage has a strong, earthy herbal scent, while palo santo is a fragrant wood with warmer, slightly sweet notes. White sage comes as a bundle of dried leaves, while palo santo comes as individual pieces of wood. If you love herbal aromas, try white sage. If warm, woody fragrances are more your style, palo santo is a lovely choice.

How do you use a white sage smudge stick?

Light the tip of your white sage bundle and let it catch for a few moments before gently blowing out the flame. The leaves will continue to smoulder, releasing their distinctive herbal fragrance. You can hold the bundle over a heat-resistant dish or place it in a suitable holder while you enjoy the aroma. Of course, make sure there's plenty of fresh air circulating, particularly when using white sage indoors. Extinguish the bundle completely when you're finished.

How do you burn Tulsi palo santo?

Palo santo is wonderfully simple to use. Light one end of the wood, allow it to catch briefly, then gently blow out the flame. The wood will smoulder and release its lovely warm, woody fragrance. You can enjoy it during meditation, as part of a personal ritual or simply because you love the scent. Use a heat-resistant dish to catch any ash, and make sure the wood is completely extinguished when you're finished.

Can I reuse a smudge stick?

Absolutely! You don't need to burn a whole white sage smudge stick in one sitting. Simply extinguish it completely after each use, allow it to cool and keep it somewhere dry until next time. The same goes for palo santo wood, which can also be relit and enjoyed over several sessions. How long each lasts depends on how much you burn each time.

Our Advice for Using Tulsi Smudge Sticks and Palo Santo

Whether you're new to smudging or have enjoyed white sage and palo santo for years, there are a few little things that can make the experience even nicer. From choosing your favourite fragrance to making your smudge sticks last, here's our advice for getting the most out of your Tulsi products.

Start Small and See What You Love

If you've never tried white sage before, the Tulsi 8cm smudge stick is a lovely place to start. It gives you a chance to discover that distinctive earthy, herbal fragrance before committing to a larger bundle. If you already know you love white sage, the medium and large sizes are handy for regular use, while the three-pack of small sticks is great for keeping a few spares.

A Little Goes a Long Way

You don't need to burn an entire smudge stick in one sitting. Light the end, let it smoulder for a little while and enjoy the fragrance. When you're finished, extinguish it completely and save the rest for another day. The same applies to palo santo, so a single piece of wood can be enjoyed over several sessions.

Let Your Nose Be the Guide

White sage and palo santo have very different personalities. White sage is earthy, herbal and quite bold, while palo santo has a beautiful warm, woody scent with a touch of sweetness. If you love fresh botanical aromas, white sage might become your favourite. If you're drawn to warmer fragrances, palo santo is well worth trying. And there's nothing wrong with loving both!

Make It Part of Your Own Ritual

Some people enjoy burning white sage or palo santo before meditation, during quiet reflection or when setting intentions for the day. Others simply love the fragrance and the atmosphere it creates. There's no need to follow an elaborate routine. You can enjoy these beautiful natural aromas in whatever way feels meaningful to you, while respecting the cultural traditions they're associated with.

Give the Fragrance Room to Breathe

Of course, whenever you're burning white sage or palo santo indoors, make sure there's plenty of fresh air circulating. Opening a window or door helps prevent smoke from building up, so you can enjoy the fragrance without it becoming overwhelming. If anyone in your household is sensitive to smoke or strong aromas, it's best to avoid burning incense around them.

Keep Your Smudge Sticks for Next Time

Once you've finished enjoying your white sage or palo santo, make sure it's completely extinguished and cooled before putting it away. A heat-resistant dish is handy for catching ash and resting your stick between uses. Store your remaining sage or palo santo somewhere dry, ready for the next time you'd like to enjoy its fragrance.
