Smoke cleansing traditions  

Burning botanicals, resins, incense etc. for health and spiritual purpose, is an ancient practice that is common in a variety of cultures around the world.  

In traditional Native American culture, burning sage is thought to cleanse people of negativity and promote healing, wisdom, clarity, longevity and increasing spiritual awareness.  

Sage (also known as sacred sage) belongs to the Salvia plant family and is derived from the Latin word salvere, which means "be well/in good health."

Does the Sage really work?

Majority of what ancient cultures have known by intuition, is nowdays supported by science. 

A 2016 research project for the University of Mississippi established that white sage (Salvia apiana) is rich in compounds that activate certain receptors in the brain.

These receptors are responsible for elevating mood levels, reducing stress, and even alleviating pain.

Sage simply clears the bacteria in the air. Scientists have observed that sage can clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria in a space and disinfect the air.

When sage is burned, it releases negative ions, which is connected to putting people into a positive mood.

A number of studies that have shown that medicinal smokes such as sage have powerful antimicrobial qualities, can improve mood and cognition, and help with insomnia.
