Sage Smudge

What is Sage Smudge?

Sage is an herb that grows in many different places around the world. The herb, which scientists refer to as Salvia officinalis, has an earthy flavor and a potent smell. So, you only need a small amount of the herb. It is usually used in dishes with meat, such as pork, beef, duck, or chicken. In Italy, they chop the herb, mix it with melted butter, and stir it into pasta. Sage, oregano, lavender, rosemary, thyme, and basil are all in the same family.

How do I use Sage Smudge?

Prior to smudging, we sanitize our hands with the incense in a manner analogous to hand bathing. The vapor is then inhaled through the mouth, ears, temples, and bodies. These behaviors serve as reminders to reflect positively, identify with virtuous deeds, listen to uplifting music, express uplifting sentiments, and exhibit our best qualities.

Sage Smudge benefits:

In addition to getting rid of bad energy, lifting your mood, and making your intuition stronger, burning sage might also help you remember things and concentrate. A 2016 review of studies said that there is promising evidence that salvia can improve memory and thinking, which could help people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. 

◉ It may help improve your mood: Tradition says that burning sage can literally make you feel better and get rid of bad feelings. Some studies back this up. A 2014 study showed that white prairie sage, which is also called estafiate, has been used in some cultures for many years to treat anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

◉ It may help soothe stress: If burning sage can make you feel better, it could also help you deal with stress. White sage (Salvia apiana) has a lot of chemicals that activate particular brain receptors, according to a 2016 study by the University of Mississippi. These receptors are in charge of improving mood, lowering stress, and even making pain go away.

◉ It can create an uplifting fragrance: This may be the best benefit for some: Sage is a beautiful incense that smells great, plain and simple. It also works great as a natural way to clean the air and get rid of smells.

◉ It can cleanse or empower specific objects: Sage's main benefit is that it burns to make a smelly smoke. This incense can be used to clean yourself or certain places. Or, some sources say that you can clean certain things. This can help with things you buy, get as gifts, or buy used. But anything can be cleaned up. If you are worried that a new or unfamiliar object has a bad history or bad energy, burning sage may help put your mind at ease and make the object more holy to you.
