Sage has been in heavy rotation for many Moons! It is a powerful plant with a long history of use by shamans and healers all over the world. For centuries, Native Americans and other indigenous people have burned sage as part of their spiritual practices such as removing negative energies from their spaces to welcome wisdom and high vibrations in!
The advantages of smudging or burning sage are immense such as improving your mood and boosting your brain receptors.When sage is burned, it releases smoke, which may have some antimicrobial and air-purifying properties. The smoke from burning sage can help reduce airborne bacteria and can cleanse the energy in space and life the vibration to the moon. Burning sage is useful in cleansing oneself from psychic and emotional trauma. Much like clearing a space, the smoke from sage can be fanned around your body with the intent to remove emotional blocks in the energy field.
However, it is essential to approach this practice with caution, especially if you or others around you suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies. Smoke from burning sage can irritate the respiratory system and trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
