Smudging Techniques & Herbs

Indigenous people worldwide utilize herbs for various purposes, including purification and cleansing rituals. A prevalent ceremony involves burning specific herbs and allowing the smoke to envelop one's body. Nowadays, this practice is often referred to as "smudging." In the western regions of North America, sage, cedar, and sweetgrass are the three most commonly used plants for smudging.
