7 Different Ways To Cleanse Your Home Without Sage

Find out 7 easy ways to boost the energy in your home without using white sage.

White sage is commonly used to boost the energy in a home. It is burned in a process called smudging, which is thought to cleanse the air and improve how the space feels overall.

For some of us though, sage isn’t something that we want to use. Maybe you don’t want to burn the sage, or the sage itself doesn’t appeal to you. Whatever your reason for hoping to avoid sage whilst also boosting your home’s energy, the good news is that there are plenty of options for you that are sage-free.

Here are 7 different ways to cleanse your home without sage:

1.   Declutter

Decluttering your home is the perfect way to ensure it feels better, no cleansing ritual required. Move seasonal items into a cheap self storage unit, and sell/ giveaway/ throw items you no longer want. Your house will feel so much better after this easy change.

2.   Create Mist

You can get white sage essential oil, mix it with water and alcohol and create a cleansing mist for your home. It means no burning, which is perfect for cleansing on the go. If you don’t like the smell of sage, you can use other essential oils for your mist instead.

3.   Get A Himalayan Pink Salt Lamp

Salt lamps are said to absorb pollution and other nasties from the air using negative ions within the salt. The products are also said to improve your mood, the energy of the home and even help with allergies. They aren’t cheap though if they are real so it is worth doing your research before investing.

4.   Make A Floral Cleansing Bowl

A floral cleansing bowl uses dried or fresh herbs like lavender, rosemary mixed with hot water, lemon juice and essential oils mixed together. This is then moved around a room to cleanse it, and also leaves it smelling incredible.

5.   Consider Using Sound Vibrations

Banging gongs, chanting and creating other long sound vibrations is thought to cleanse the energy of a space. If you want something read-made to use, try this Tibetan monk chanting video from Youtube.

6.   Create Your Own Herb Bundle

If you want to try smudging your house but you don’t like sage, why not create your own herb bundle to cleanse your home? You can use all kinds of herbs and dried products like rosemary, orange peel, juniper or mint. By creating a scent you love, cleansing will be a real pleasure and something to look forward to.

7.   Burn Palo Santo

Palo Santo wood has a high amount of resin within it and is said to remove bad energy from the air when it is burned. You can get the sticks ready made to burn, and use them wherever you want to improve energy in your home.

The 7 cleansing tips above can help you boost the energy in your home without having to use sage. Once you find a process you like, you can cleanse your home whenever you want to, boosting the good energy, and removing negative feelings for a home your family loves to spend time in.
