When you think of clearing negative energy, you probably first think of smudging with the smoke of sacred plants like sage and palo santo. However, that method of cleansing might not work for you if you have respiratory issues or if you don’t like the smoky smell. Luckily there are other ways to clear unwanted energies without aggravating your lungs or your nose.
There are essential oils that you can use that have similar properties to sacred herbs, if not the exact same. If you don’t like burning sage, you could use sage oil that comes from the same plant. However, sage is not the only essential oil that aids in clearing unwanted energies from your space.
