Burning herbs and activating the release of smoke is an ancient practice ceremoniously used in rituals around the world to purify spaces and is often burned in reverence to ancestors and their contributions to the lineage of the owner. Smudging is commonly believed to deepen your intuition and clear spiritual and emotional negativity and strengthen the presence of ancestors. Scientifically, studies have shown that the act of burning herbs neutralizes pollutants in the environment and reduces negative ions and airborne bacteria in the air.
