🌿What are Smudges? 🍃

Smudging is commonly associated with Native American traditions, where bundles of herbs are burned for a specific purpose. 

White sage, rosemary, and cedar—are naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial, helping to purify the air, reduce airborne bacteria, and repel insects. This makes smudging not only an energetic cleanse but also a natural health booster for your environment.

Common smudging herbs include white sage, lavender, yerba santo, dragon’s blood resin, palo santo, rosemary, cedar, and sweetgrass braid.

When smudging it's important to do it with respect and understanding, honoring its cultural significance while practicing with clear intention and authenticity. 

Why Smudge?

• Purify spaces, objects, and people.

• Prepare for meditation or yoga.

• Create a tranquil, sacred environment.

• Promote relaxation and emotional balance.

• Support air quality through its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

The process is both physical and energetic—when you inhale the aroma, it can feel calming, grounding, and deeply restorative.
