Smudging
The Smudging blessing is an important part of Native American Culture. Smudging is the name given to the burning of sacred herbs for cleansing and praying practiced by many Native American Tribes. Each herb is considered a sacred ingredient by Native Americans, who have used turkey feather wands for generations in the smudging ceremony. The smoke of specific herbs and highly aromatic plants is used in ceremonies and for cleansing yourself and your home, and this has been done throughout the history of Native American Indians.
