Sage

Sage is a herb used in cuisines throughout the world.  It has been used for centuries by Native Americans, Egyptians and Romans.  It comes dried in bundles or loose as dried leaves.

Burning sage, also known as smudging has a long tradition among Native Americans and is a powerful ritual for clearing negative energy. Ancient Egyptians and Romans traditionally used to treat digestive issues, memory problems and sore throats and to promote healing and wisdom.  It is said to bring a sense of calm. Like Paolo Santo, Sage also has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and has traditionally been used to treat colds and flus and viruses.

Healing: When sage is burned it may help to lift the mood
Chakras: All
Instructions: Burn a candle, set an intention, and then light the sage using the candle. Blow it out so the embers are glowing. With both hands, bring the smoke into your heart, over your head and down the front and back body to cleanse yourself.
Note: Similar to Paolo Santo it does not stay lit and requires re-ignition when necessary. Place the smoldering sage in an Abalone shell or similar heat proof container.
