Ingredients:
- 1 dried sprig of rosemary (fresh works too, but dried burns more easily)
- A heat-resistant bowl or dish (like a ceramic or metal dish)
- A lighter or matches
Instructions:
- Prepare your space: Open a window or create some ventilation to allow any smoke to flow out. Make sure you’re in a safe, fire-proof area, free from flammable items.
- Light the rosemary: Hold the dried sprig by the end and use a lighter or match to ignite the tip of the rosemary. Let it catch fire briefly and then blow it out gently, allowing it to smolder and release smoke.
- Observe the aroma: As the rosemary smolders, a woodsy, herbal scent will fill the space. You can walk around your home with the burning sprig, allowing the smoke to spread, or keep it in one place in the heat-resistant dish.
- Let it burn for 10 minutes: After 10 minutes, observe how the room feels and the effects on your mood or clarity. Many people find that rosemary smoke can have a calming, refreshing, and mentally stimulating effect.
- Dispose safely: Once done, ensure the rosemary has completely extinguished by pressing it into the heat-resistant dish and leaving it there until cool.
