You can make smudge sprays with moon water or distillied water.

Moon Water: To make moon water, start by filling a clean container with water, add clear quartz crystals and sprinkle with sea salt.  A glass jar or bowl works best. Place the container outside where it will be exposed to the moonlight, ideally during a full moon, though any waxing phase of the moon will work. Leave the water out overnight so it can absorb the moon's energy.

While you're setting it outside, you can set some intentions if you like, like healing, peace, or growth. You might say something like, “I charge this water with the energy of the moon for clarity,” or other intentions like abundance, peace, calm and balance, healing and wellness, happiness or strength.

In the morning, bring the water inside and store it somewhere safe. Now, you can use the moon water for a variety of things, like smudge sprays, cleansing your space, using it in a ritual, or even drinking it if you feel called to do so. There's nothing quite as special as a cup of moon water tea to start your day!
