About Smudging

Smudging may help clear the air. Studies have observed that sage can clear up to 94% of airborne bacteria, helping to disinfect the space. When sage is burned, it also releases negative ions, which are linked to promoting a positive mood.

To begin your smudging ritual, you will need matches, smudging herbs, and a heatproof smudging bowl. Before lighting your smudge, open a door or window to give any unwanted energy a pathway to leave.

1. Light one end of the smudge stick, allowing it to catch fire and burn for several seconds.
2. Gently blow on the lit end until the smudge begins to glow and produce smoke.
3. Place the smudge on a heatproof bowl to catch the ashes as it burns.
