Cleansing Tools

The spiritual meaning if sage is one of “peace” and “wisdom”
Sage belongs to the Salvia plant family, derived from the Latin word salvere, which translates to “to heal”. Sage is used to clear, cleanse and purify spaces, energies and items. It is a powerful herb that when burned or 'smudged', can produce an instant shift in ones energy allowing them to feel lighter, clearer and calmer. In order to cleanse other people’s negative vibes, shamans would burn sage over a fire, which would also promote healing, wisdom and longevity. This ritual is what they called ‘smudging’. From a scientific point of view, a number of studies have shown that burning sage has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties and can serve as an insect repellent, improve one’s mood and cognition. It has the ability to release negative ions, even ease insomnia in some cases.
