Sage Smudge Sticks Large 12"

Description:
Salvia apiana, or white sacred sage is an all-natural ceremonial incense that has been traditionally burned in Native American rituals for thousands of years. This powerful spiritual cleansing technique calls on the spirit of the white sacred sage to drive away negative energy and restore balance.

Salvia Apiana (white sage) is an evergreen perennial shrub that is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, found mainly in the coastal sage scrub habitat on the western edges of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts.

The sage leaves are burnt by many native American tribes, with the smoke used in different purification rituals. A tea from the roots was used by the Cahuilla women for healing and strength after childbirth.

A study performed at the University of Arizona in 1991 demonstrated that Salvia Apiana has potential anti-bacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida brassicae.
