Product details - Smudging...the burning of dried sage, is an ancient spiritual ritual, helping to achieve a healing state, to assist in reflecting upon spiritual dilemmas, there may be some scientific basis in this as certain types of sage contain thujone, which is mildly psychoactive, and is found in many plants used in spiritual rituals to 'enhance' intuition'.
