AROMATHERAPY AND ENERGETIC

CLEANSING CANDLE

Introduction

Sage has a long history of use in Egyptian, Roman, and Greek medicine, as well as in Native American healing traditions. Dried sage is burned as a way to heal, protect, increase wisdom, and boost defense against disease. Burning sage, also known as smudging, involves burning sage leaves and letting the smoke purify the air in your home.

White sage, Salvia apiana, sacred sage, the most well known among Sage species.

White sage is a medicinal plant that is primarily used in incense rituals. Native to the southwestern United States and north-western Mexico, it is well renowned for its cleansing properties.

California white sage (Salvia apiana) has long been used by Native American peoples in traditional incense rituals. Today, it has become popular due its purifying effect. 

What is the difference between white sage and common sage?

Botanically, white sage (Salvia apiana) and common sage (Salvia officinalis) belong to the same genus (Salvia). Both plants contain tannins, bitter compounds, flavonoids, resins and essential oils. The key distinction is in how the two species are used.

While common sage is often used in cooking, white sage is more commonly used in incense rituals and as a fragrant plant. This is because white sage exudes a much more intense, tart and resinous scent. Another distinguishing feature is the leaves.

The hairless and mostly green leaves of common sage can easily be distinguished from the whitish-green leaves of white sage. Furthermore, common sage is far more hardy than white sage and usually regrows from its old woody stems in spring, whereas white sage must be protected from frost. In addition to common sage and white sage, there are many other types of sage that can be used in the kitchen, as medicinal plants or as attractive plants in the garden.
