White sage has been considered a sacred cleansing, purifying and protective plant for hundreds of years. It's found mainly in southern and Baja California on the western edges of the Moave and Sonoran deserts. Why should we smudge with sage? What does it do? The primary intention is to clear away negative energy including fear, anger, and also earthbound or lowerspirits, anything unwanted, smudging removes. And now, scientific research shows that the smoke of sage actually clears bacteria out the air. Time to go smudge for the weekend!!!!
