White sage, also known as salvia apiana, is an evergreen perennial shrub that is native to the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. Burning or "smudging" sage is an ancient spiritual ritual. However, it also has numerous health benefits. Some health benefits of smudging white sage:

1. It's a powerful anti-flammatory

2. Strengthens your immune system

3. Said to soothe sore throat

4. Promotes healthy cognitive function

5. Studies have shown that white sage can kill up to 94% of bacteria and pathogens in the air

6. Improves mood and reduces stress and anxiety

7. Improves the quality of your sleep

Directions on how to smudge your living space, object, etc:

1. Light the end of a sage stick with a match or cigarette lighter. Blow out the flame (the sage stick should then give off thick smoke). Be sure to use a ceramic bowl or shell (the ashes from the smoke can fall and burn carpet).

2. Once the sage stick gives off thick smoke, wand the stick around in a clockwise direction in each room of your home and space (covering all areas of the room).

3. Once each room has been smudged, put out the smoke and re-store the stick in a original package, ash tray, ceramic bowl or shell.
