Benefits of Lighting White Sage Incense Sticks

When seeking out practices centered on cleansing and grounding, white sage is usually one of the most powerful plants for this intention. Originally used in sacred ceremonies by Indigenous Americans, today white sage incense is popular for its functions on cleansing environments, soothing the mind, and welcoming balance into daily life. These are some of the benefits of lighting White Sage incense sticks.

What is White Sage Incense? 

White sage (Salvia apiana) is a sacred herb, native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The burnings of sage incense are a long-standing tradition of smudging rituals for cleansing homes, healing spiritual ailments, and protection against negative energies. 

Benefits of Burning White Sage Incense

White sage has a soft aroma that induces a calm state of nervousness, agitation, and overthinking. It is a great herb for relaxing after the day, or settling in for a good night's sleep.
