White Sage ( Salvia apiana ) 2L Container
🌿**White Sage (Salvia apiana)** is a sacred and aromatic plant native to North America, traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for cleansing, protection, and energetic clearing. Beyond its ceremonial use, it has been valued in herbal medicine for mild antimicrobial and respiratory-supportive properties.
**Primary actions** include antimicrobial, expectorant, nervine, and mild anti-inflammatory effects. White sage is commonly used to support respiratory health, ease mild congestion, and promote energetic clarity. It has also been used ceremonially to clear spaces and encourage focus or intention.
**Affinities** include the respiratory system, nervous system, and subtle energetic pathways, with a strong relationship to purification, clarity, and protection.
**Energetically**, white sage is warming, clearing, and purifying. It moves stagnant energy, supports clarity of mind and spirit, and promotes balance in both the physical and energetic body.
**Contraindications:** Generally safe in moderate doses. Avoid high doses internally or long-term ingestion without guidance. People with respiratory sensitivities may find smoke irritating when used for smudging.
**Growth cycle:** White sage is a perennial shrub that thrives in full sun, well-drained, and often rocky soils. It produces silvery aromatic leaves and small white to pale purple flowers from spring through summer. Leaves are harvested carefully to preserve both medicinal and ceremonial qualities.
