White sage is traditionally used in Indigenous American cultures for spiritual and ceremonial purposes, particularly in cleansing rituals. This involves burning the sage and wafting the smoke around to cleanse a space, person, or object of negative energy, to promote healing, or to invite positive spirits and protection.

Common uses of white sage:

Spiritual Cleansing: Often used to clear out negative energy from a space or person. It’s a symbolic act of purification.

Meditation and Mindfulness: Some people use smudge sticks during meditation or yoga to create a calming atmosphere.

Cultural Practices: Various Indigenous tribes have long used white sage in rituals, prayer, and ceremonies as a sacred herb.

Aromatherapy: Some use it for its earthy scent, believed to help relieve stress and improve mood.

Air purification: One study suggests that burning certain herbs, including sage, might reduce bacteria in the air. A 2007 study found that medicinal smoke could reduce airborne bacteria by as much as 94%, with effects lasting up to 24 hours in a closed room.

Mood enhancement: Some claim that white sage may help with stress, anxiety, and mood improvement, largely through its role in mindfulness rituals.

Antimicrobial properties: Sage, including white sage, contains compounds such as cineole and other terpenes that have antimicrobial properties in laboratory settings.
