ANCIENT SMOKE HEALING

Herbal Smoke or Smudging has been a part of every Ancient culture, almost as far as Time itself! Across centuries and lands, homes and community places like Temples, Theatres and Baths, were bathed in Sacred and Medicinal Smoke daily, as ritual.

Indian, Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Native American, Aboriginal, Muslim and even Catholic customs have all invoked Smoke, Incense and Smudging as part of Cleansing, Oblations, Offering and Prayer. Herbs were burned in the ritual cleansing of a physical space, objects or individuals.

They understood that burning certain herbs generated smoke laden with its medicinal, curative and wellbeing properties. These benefits attach to the negative energy and ions and as the smoke dissipates, so does the negative energy.

The fragrance of smoking herbs, spices and flowers, hung in the air, based on seasons, occasions and health benefits desired. Some lured the young amorously at Spring Rituals, to celebrate love and Life; Others calmed and cleansed the devout. Fevers and hangovers were treated with smoke; As were entire towns fumigated to prevent or contain epidemics or illnesses.

Smoke has draped a Healing Veil over human wellness and wellbeing, forever.

SCIENCE & HEALING SMOKE

Today, Science has begun to take an avid interest in the benefits of Herbal Smoke Immersions and Smudging.

The Skin is our largest Organ. And the most porous. It absorbs and delivers medicinal and curative benefits of what it is exposed to rapidly and without damage by digestive enzymes.

A 2006 review published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology titled Medicinal Smokes, studied single and multi-ingredient herbal and non-herbal remedies administered as smoke from 50 countries across 5 continents. Researchers found, "ambient smoke, generated by smudging/incense, passively inhaled, is an effective air purifier."

The review advocates that modern medicine should investigate medicinal smoke as a drug delivery system, owing to "The advantages of smoke-based remedies are rapid delivery to the brain, more efficient absorption by the body and lower costs of production."

One year later, a remarkable study titled, Medicinal Smoke Reduces Airborne Bacteria, validates that Herbal Smoke Infusions and Smudging Practices may be one of the most powerful antiseptic technologies ever discovered. Published in the same Journal, this 2007 review addresses modern sceptics with what the Ancients had, very deftly, made a way of life!
