kruut - clear spirit - bundle of incense

Short routes.
No pesticides.

Since incense bundles are not food, the use of pesticides is often not controlled. However, we always felt it was absurd to want to purify the air and mind while simultaneously releasing chemical residues. That's why we only use certified organic raw materials, the same ones we would use to make tea.

We make all our incense bundles from high-quality, organic herbs from Germany. We have partnered with a fantastic herbal farm in southern Germany for this purpose. Five experienced herbalists harvested, dried, and bundled the plants. This makes each bundle unique and native to nature.

Smudging is one of the oldest rituals in human history. On every continent and throughout history, people have used the burning of plant parts to create specific effects and emotions. Smudging was part of everyday rituals but was also associated with special celebrations, life events, or annual festivals.

How can I smudge? Light the smudge bundle at the tip, let it burn for a while, and then blow out the flame. This will form embers. You keep the embers alive by supplying air – so gently wave it in the air or blow on it. To extinguish it, stick it in sand or let it burn out. Now ventilate well and let new energies flow in. With one bundle, you can burn about 30 times.

What else do I need? You can use a fireproof bowl or plate to prevent the ash from falling to the floor. Take at least five minutes before and after burning to fully concentrate on your ritual.

How does it work? Science shows us that the scent molecules from the smoke travel directly through the nose to our limbic system. It is the oldest part of our brain and controls our emotions. This rudimentary part awakens our memories and manages our autonomic nervous system. The scent of the smoke alone therefore has an influence on our entire body.

Organically grown hyssop, wild thyme, and sage. Harvested, bundled, and gently dried by hand on a small organic farm in southern Germany.

Note: Smoking generates high temperatures. Please use fireproof surfaces and do not leave the incense unattended. The smoke can irritate the respiratory tract and eyes. Pay special attention to small children and animals. If you smoke, you do so at your own risk. We assume no liability.
