Sage Smudge
The practice of burning sage can be traced back to Native American culture. Shamans and healers have used this potent healing plant as part of a smudge ceremony for centuries.
Sage salvia is a plant that energy healers and practitioners now use to cleanse spaces in the home or office. A sage smudge allows you to shut out negative energies, invite positive energy into your space, and welcome the wisdom of centuries of healing practices.
