By carefully selecting herbs that resonate with renewal, wisdom, and tranquility—such as mint for its association with new beginnings, sage for its deep connection to wisdom in times of change, and lavender for its calming influence—this ceremony creates a sacred atmosphere conducive to letting go of the old and welcoming the new.
