White Sage (Salvia apiana) is a highly revered medicinal and ritual herb among Native American traditions, used for sending prayers, purification, and invoking the spirits of sacred plants. It is particularly effective for ceremonial smudging, offering protection, cleansing, and empowerment. This herb purifies and disinfects the air, spaces, people, objects, auras, chakras, and emotions, removing negative energies and replacing them with positive, uplifting light.

Beyond its spiritual uses, White Sage is valued for its powerful healing and antimicrobial properties. The name "sage" originates from the Latin word salvia or salvare, meaning "to save" or "to heal," reflecting its profound restorative qualities.

How to Perform a Cleansing Ritual

Burning sage for cleansing can be as simple or elaborate as you prefer. The most important aspect is to have a clear intention. If your goal is to purify a space, an object, or yourself, it's essential to focus on this purpose not only while lighting the sage but also as the fragrance fills the area.

To begin, light the tip of the sage bundle. If it catches fire, gently blow it out. The leaves should smolder, producing a steady stream of thick smoke. Use one hand to guide the smoke to the desired areas while holding the bundle in the other. Allow the smoke to linger in the spaces you wish to cleanse. The sage will naturally stop smoldering if left undisturbed. To extinguish the sage safely, use a fireproof container or a bowl filled with sand or rice.
