Smudging is a highly effective method to rid any space, person or object of negativity and bring positive energy into a room or person’s life. Smudging may help prevent illness, clear a home or office of clutter or simply attract positive vibes.
Smudging kits typically consist of bundles of herbs such as Sage, Cedar or Yerba Santa that when lit create smoke. Some come equipped with an abalone shell to collect any ash or embers as they fall from burning while a feather fan spreads the smoke further.
Beginner
Sage is perhaps best-known as an herb used for smudging, but many other herbs and woods can also be burned to produce healing smoke. Smudging is a traditional practice practiced by indigenous cultures all over the world that involves burning specific plants to cleanse rooms or heal individuals.
Smudging sticks, comprised of herbs or wood used for burning, can be purchased either individually or as kits from natural health stores. Similar to incense sticks, a smudging stick can be lit with flame or candle and then blown out so the embers slowly smolder away, producing cleansing smoke. Most kits include an Abalone Shell to place the stick while another Mini Feather Fan helps direct its natural course.

Sage can help clear away negative energy and bring positive vibes into a space while Sweetgrass attracts good spirits while Palo Santo wood can be burned to clear your home of unwanted energies or spirits.
