Sage is a traditional medicine plant.  It is used for cleansing and purification, and to open people up to a greater connection with the sacred. It is thought to banish negative energy, not only on the physical level, but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It has a very aromatic, sharp and stimulating smell, and its action works on all the senses. However it is honored in Native American tradition to be sacred herb used for sending prayer and working with the power of spirit.

White Sage is used to cleanse spaces, houses, rooms or environments of any kinds of subtle, old energies and prepare the space with fresh intent. It is also used to cleanse the aura of a person from stuck old energies to prepare for ceremony or spiritual work. It is also cleansing and healing when drunk internally as a tea. White Sage is also used for cleansing objects for use in ceremony or when calling or looking inward for higher guidance. It is very good for cleansing crystals.

**The sale of White Sage and Palo Santo has caused quite the uproar in the spiritual community.  Many harvesters rely on the sale of these sacred herbs and woods to provide jobs to those in rural areas where it is grown, loved, and cherished.  The harvest of White Sage and Palo Santo keep money flowing in these areas, and help protect the land from potential inventors.  We will continue to support the efforts to keep this plant alive and well.
