White Sage

White Sage — The Smoke of Purification

Appearance & Origin:
White Sage (Salvia apiana) is a silvery‑green, aromatic plant native to the sun‑blessed deserts of Southern California and Baja. Its soft, velvety leaves release a deeply cleansing scent when gently crushed or burned. Traditionally harvested with care and intention, White Sage carries the essence of dry winds, warm earth, and ancient ritual.

Metaphysical Healing Properties:
White Sage is revered for its powerful purification and energetic reset. Its smoke clears stagnant or heavy energy, dissolves emotional residue, and creates space for harmony, clarity, and renewed intention. It supports grounding during transitions and encourages a calm, centred presence during meditation, breathwork, and spiritual practices.

Care & Ethical Notes:
