White Sage and cleansing rituals have become ever popular in the past several years. But some believe that comes at a cost to members of native cultures who rely on this sacred herb to perform their ancient rituals.

Cedar is a sacred plant that has been burned by many Native Americans for centuries in ceremonies of cleansing, clearing, and blessing. It is used during prayer and meditation to cleanse rooms and to clear the energy that builds up in crystals. In ritual, Cedar is often used in sweat lodge ceremonies. Thrown onto red-hot rocks, a small pinch of cedar can spark and release its clean woodsy aroma. The smoke of burning cedar is said to attract good spirits and eliminate negative energies.
