The use of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purgation is a common practice among many religious, healing, and spiritual groups.
The rite of smoke-cleansing is defined as "spiritual house cleansing."
In essence, the "smoke" attaches itself to damaging energy. As the "smoke" clears, it takes the damaging energy with it, discharging it into a different space where it is transformed into favorable energy.
