Smudging is the act of burning plant material, usually bundles of dried herbs, flowers or wood until they smolder and then using the resultant smoke to cleanse a space. Smoke offerings are an age-old practice used in many traditions but most frequently attributed to the Native Tribes of North America, and used in practices like Buddhism, and many other spiritual religions. While smudging has traditionally been done to energetically cleanse a space of negative or stagnant energy and invite positive energy, new studies have begun to investigate the efficacy of using odiferous and medicinal smoke to reduce pathogenic bacteria from the air and clear and disinfect the environment.
