The art of smudging does not dictate what herbs or plants to use, and every plant has it’s own properties. Rosemary clears negativity, promotes confidence and invigorates the mind.

An ancient practice, smudging of herbs for cleansing can be seen in all factions of history and cultures. From Indigenous Peoples with the Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing, to the use of incense burning in the ancient Near East, all the way to present day incense burning in Church, the burning of plant materials to bring balance, cleansing, and healing, is part of our vast histories. Which may be why people are so drawn to the practice.
