Flat Cedar Smudge: Flat Cedar is another type of botanical leaf that is burned in ceremonial rituals such as sweat lodges, and used in cleansing ceremonies as well. Cedar is considered the strongest of the smoked botanicals used for this purpose. Doctors and Therapists are increasingly discovering the beneficial aspects of this and other herbs. Smudging (called "Smoke" by the Indian people) is one of the ways people around the globe are reconnecting with the power of Mother Earth. Sifted: This is the same type of flat leafed cedar, except the leaf has been run through a sifter to give you a consistent size for smoking (smudging). It is available in 2 ounce packs.
