Smoke Cleansing Sticks

The term 'smudging’ is distinctly Indigenous and is an important ceremonial purifying ritual/prayer practiced in many Native American Indigenous cultures.

Although smoke cleansing and smudging visually look similar, the intentions and purposes behind them are rather different. Whilst many cultures across the world have utilised sage for cleansing, it is important to know that smudging using indigenous practices is not solely for cleansing. White sage is most commonly used in both practices.
