Californian White Sage Loose Leaves

Of all the different types of sage, true white sage is the best for smudging. It emits a cloud of white, purifying smoke.

The very smell of white sage invokes peace and higher thoughts.

White sage is believed to cleanse a space of any evil spirits that may be present. This power is said to be released from the plant by the burning of the leaves, which are typically bundled into a wand or stick.

Today many Native American tribes still use the stems and leaves for smudging as part of purification ceremonies.
