Rue energy cleaning

Rue is a plant with medicinal uses, but above all it is known for its great esoteric or magical properties. It is said that rue protects those who have it, drives away everything bad and attracts everything positive, which is why rue is often used as a lucky charm.

It is also very useful to have rue plants in the home, since they are in charge of absorbing negative energies, so it would keep our house free of evils and constantly positive. In addition, it is known as the plant of forgiveness due precisely to its ability to transform the negative into positive.

On the other hand, it is also widely used against curses and different witchcraft, since it has the power to break them if used well. So if you have come to this article looking for rue against witchcraft, here you will also find the answer.

How to clean the house with rue

There are several ways to use rue to clean the home, but the most common are:

burn dry rue

Within the ways of cleaning the home with rue, we must especially highlight the latter: "burn dry rue". This is because there is nothing better than using the product directly, as is the case with food, which is better for the body to consume organic and 100% natural products.

It is said, then, that by burning dry rue, bad energies suddenly disappear, the same as if we burn dry bay leaves. To do this, it is best to leave the rue in a container so as not to run the risk of the small fire spreading.

What is rue alcohol for?

In various pharmacies we can also find rue macerated with alcohol. This is usually used to heal wounds, but esoterically it can be very useful to protect us from bad energies, to free us from them, as well as to prevent them from entering us.

Once we acquire the product (or that we do it ourselves, leaving some rue leaves to rest for 24 hours in alcohol), it will suffice to sprinkle a few drops on our necks, under our ears, every day, it will be enough to be day protected from all evil.

Clean the house with rue and rosemary

But if what we want is a thorough cleaning of our home, it would be better to combine rue with other plants and ingredients, as we will explain below:

1. Get a new mop bucket.
2. Fill the bucket with water and add salt and vinegar.
3. Clean the home from the inside out, that is, the last thing you clean is the entrance and the door. In this way, it will be as if you were "expelling" bad energies from your home.
4. Then light some rue and rosemary candles and also incense from both plants.
5. Lastly, throw the bucket, mop, candle holders and any remaining incense away from your home.

The fact of throwing this type of objects in garbage containers outside your home is also very significant, since when cleaning the home of bad energies, somehow they get "trapped" in the objects used for cleaning. If it's a light cleaning, there's no need to do this, but if it's done to cleanse the house of witchcraft, then yes.

Rue and rosemary baths

If we are the ones who feel that we need a good energy bath, we can resort to a rue and rosemary bath. In various establishments we will find rue and rosemary soap, although for a thorough cleaning the following is recommended:

1. Fill the bathtub with hot water.
2. Add a few drops of rue oil, rosemary oil, or both to the water.
3. Get into the water and make sure your whole body is soaked, hair included.
4. Afterward, wash yourself with rue and/or rosemary soap to cleanse your aura of bad energies.
5. Finally, remove the plug from the drain and, when all the "dirty" water of energies is gone, wash yourself once more with water to finish cleaning yourself energetically.

If you don't have a bathtub and you can't use rue or rosemary oil, nothing happens. Using the rue/rosemary soap we will obtain the same effect. And if you want to enhance the washing, you can carefully put a rue or rosemary candle in the bathroom.
