California White Sage

Burning sage, also known as ‘smudging’ is an ancient spiritual ritual. Sage is one of the most important Native American ceremonial and purifying herbs used for space clearing, cleansing and protection.

Clears Negativity
Smudging may also be used as a helpful tool to rid yourself or your spaces of negativity. This can include past traumas, bad experiences, or being around negative people in your surroundings.

Helps Kill Bacteria
Sage has long been used in traditional medicine as a natural remedy to fight viral infections. It is believed to have strong antimicrobial properties that help to kill germs and bacteria due to its concentration of potent plant compounds.
 
Improves Your Mood
This powerful herb can also help to improve your mood and energy levels, creating an uplifting aroma for the body, mind and soul.

Aids Meditation
Sage can help you establish a positive environment for meditation and spiritual connection. The Latin word for sage ‘salvia’ comes from the word ‘heal’.

How to purify your space with sage?
Light the tip of your sage stick then set an intention to cleanse your space. Start to walk in a clockwise direction  whilst allowing the smoke to drift into any hidden corners, even the closet or open drawers. Open the windows to allow the smoke or negative energies to find a pathway out of your newly cleansed space.
