Engage with Sage
50 Benefits from A-Z
When my son was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, I went on a healing herbs journey.
It's been one of many roads and I am grateful for all that I have learned along the way.
While traveling, I rediscovered white sage and fell in love.
We've been together ever since!
I've always had an affinity to the smell of its burning leaves and was intrigued by the the smudging rituals of which I've been a part of.
But after my journey began and I learned more, my affinity ran deep!
There are countless healing properties of this Herb of Immortality and the list might surprise you.
White sage, also known as salvia apiana, is an evergreen shrub that grows across the United States, and is most prevalent in high altitude desert ecosystems. Native Americans are well known to have used the healing properties of sage to drive out negative energy, evil spirits, and in ceremonies for blessings and prosperity.
For generations, white sage has been used for purifying, cleansing, and protection and many consider the plant to be sacred. According to tradition, all plants and animals have a spirit. The spirit of white sage is devoted to clearing, protection, and blessings. Tapping into the power of white sage will amplify any healing or clearing that you do on yourself or others.
Sage has a rich history dating back to prehistorical times and though it is often associated with Native Americans, sage was sought after by Chinese, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs.
For centuries it has been commonly used for clearing energy, but today there is scientific research that smudging purifies the air of harmful bacteria. Following a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, according to Sayer Ji, founder of Green Med Info (Science of Natural Healing), "not only did the burning of medicinal herbs clear aerial bacterial populations by 94% within one hour, but a full day later, the closed room was still effectively decontaminated. Even more amazing, a full month later, seven other pathogenic bacteria in the open room were still non-detectable."
There are many variations and uses for sage from culinary to medicinal.
Why is Sage one of the most healing herbs on the planet?
Here are over 50 benefits that I've compiled from A-Z:
