Wrong. According to a recent Argentinian study, they found that 85% of tested tampons, swabs, balls, wipes and other sanitary products, scored positive for none other than a probable carcinogen, typically found in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. 

“Eighty-five percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite” Dr. Damian Marino told Télam news agency.

Among these shocking findings, the team at Socio-Environmental Interaction Space (EMISA) of the University of La Plata in Argentina, also found that 100% of the sterilized cotton gauze that was analyzed, showed evidence of glyphosate.

Since humans have existed on this wonderful blue and green planet, smudging and the burning of incense has been used as a way to cleanse and purify the energy of spaces. While its practice has been most associated with that of indigenous tribes, religious and secret societies, and hippie or new-age subcultures, its use and its benefit belongs to all people, the way water and oxygen do, and can be used a way to provide greater comfort and ease within living spaces and shared environments.

Smudging is neither voodoo, nor magic. It requires no belief system or breaks from any known cultural tradition. The decision to smudge, burn incense or not is a practical one, really. It’s simply a matter of how free and clear of negative energies do you wish the spaces you spend time in to be.

The smoke produced from its burning, or the burning of incense is what naturally cleanses and purifies an area of negative energies. When it comes to smudging or burning incense, it’s all about the smoke, not the flame. Smoke cleanses in the same manner as water, by dispersion and elimination.

Negative energies, unlike what is portrayed in the movies, generally consists of self-judgments, judgments of others, fears for the future, regrets from the past, hidden resentments and emotional suppression.
