HOW TO SMUDGE

Smudging is a time-honored spiritual cleansing ritual with deep roots in Native American tradition. By burning plants and aromatics with cleansing properties like sage, cedar and frankincense, the smoke released while smudging purifies a location, object, or person. While traditionally performed in preparation for rites of passage, smudging is embraced by many cultures around the world for its profound spiritual and practical benefits.
