Sage belongs to the plant family Salvia, which derives from the Latin word salvere, which means "to heal".
Smudging is an ancient spiritual practice that originated with Native Americans. Burning sage has been used to connect with the spiritual and open intuition. Smudging is therefore a great practice to use for meditation, healing, and ceremonies.
Burn sage and cleanse the energy of the room, objects, yourself or someone else.
Visualize white light and set an intention while burning the sage. Remember to air either while you are doing it or during the practice to get out old air and energy.
This is what you need:
- A bundle of sage.
- A fireproof bowl (preferably glass or ceramic)
- A match or lighter
- Feather for fanning smoke

Sage also has antimicrobial properties and therefore helps keep viruses and bacteria away.
A 2014 study shows that smudging helps with stress, anxiety, and restlessness. Sleep is also said to be improved by smudging.
It is also said to help with cognitive function, and a study from 2016 supports this.
Sage has a delicious aroma that also acts as an air purifier.
So if you're feeling stressed, unmotivated, lacking energy, or even suffering from insomnia, this ancient tradition can help you cleanse your mind and body of negativity.
