Unwind and purify with smudge sticks
We see them everywhere on Instagram these days: smudge sticks! Of course, this trend goes way back, to a time far before the digital trend bubble. Smudge sticks are bundles of dried flowers and spices, and find their roots in Native American traditions. During the smudging ceremony, the bundle is lit and the resulting smoke is said to cleanse and purify spaces, objects and people, getting rid of any negative energies. The positive effects of smudging are well-known amongst many indigenous cultures.
