Hi Folks, Quick health blast PSA- Check your sage bundles! We at Des Moines New Age Shop always make sure to check our purchased Sage & Smudge bundles for Mold & Black mold- our #inhousemade smudge bundles are made with great care and thoroughly checked. We recently received a batch that had mold(which was thrown out promptly) from a very reputable seller- which means its time to switch sellers AGAIN. This is a very real health risk, which is why we have switched Sage sellers so often. Check the sage that you buy online and at shops thoroughly before you burn it. *Most bundles go unchecked! We will be doing a rebundling video soon- stay tuned!!!! When you burn moldy Sage/Herbs/Wood, microscopic mold spores are released from the wood into the air. These spores can easily create symptoms such as coughing; eye, throat and nose irritation; and sneezing & in severe cases- respiratory infection or distress. *Those with chronic respiratory conditions such as Asthma & Bronchitis are believed to be more susceptible to these symptoms. Burning moldy Sage/Herbs/Wood also increases the number of airborne mold spores inside your home, which in turn increases the likelihood of problematic & unhealthy indoor mold growth. #healthrisk #thataintmud #mold #smudgestick #psa #warning #desmoinesnewageshop (at Des Moines New Age Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VanyTA8s7/?igshid=1sfjct2ss4xn0
