@Siirenias I had to go pretty out of the way to find mine, so I'd recommend calling around before pounding pavement if you plan on searching for an alternative to cotton.

I wanted to point out, just in case someone might try to "make do," that it's pretty important to use a natural fiber to bind your smudge sticks with. Plastics, nylons and other petroleum fibers can give off toxic, unpleasant smoke when burned. Strong embroidery cotton thread is a great substitute if you don't want to go out of your way to find a bead store that sells good hemp cord.

@XxNarutoNoobxX There's a large number. Actually, most of the sages you find in dried bundles are from North America.
Okay, the ones I find, anyway. It's usually White Sage, a species that lives in the southwestern USA. Beyond that, you can sometimes find conifer smudge sticks, made from plants like pines, firs and junipers.
I like making mine with Blue, Purple, Black, White and a couple other US native species I could name.

Wish someone told me that catnip spreads before I planted it in my garden... it took over... no other plants grew. D:

If I wanted to make a smudge stick of just white sage, can I make the bundle bigger and still have it burn evenly? What's the technique for that? Informative vid btw :D
This comment has received too many negative votes show
I felt like you needed to express the foundation and techniques of the sticks. What type of herbs for whatever stick you were making and the fine print. i dont wanna feed the cat, i wanna learn HOW to make the sticks....
