What is Smudging?

Many indigenous tribes of the US and Canada traditionally perform a purification ritual known as ‘smudging’: using herbal smoke to clear the atmosphere of negative vibrations and fill the environment with positive, uplifting energies.

Smudge Sticks are typically bundled wands made of bound herbs such as White Sage, Cedar or Pine leaves, or other sage variations.

Scientifically, papers published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology have found that burning sage can act as an air purifier, clearing airborne bacteria by up to 94% – suggesting that the ancient practice of burning powerful herbal material has strong scientific grounding and medical benefits.
