 White Sage Smudge We have stocked up on our supplies of Native American Sage Smudge!! At this difficult time, we should remember that Mother Earth often supplies us with natural remedies that can be very effective, when used alongside effective hand washing and keeping our distance from others. We recently read some really interesting research into Sage, that we thought we’d share. This research showed that Sage has powerful anti-microbial and antibacterial properties, keeping away viruses and insects. It also showed that it purified the air and eliminated up to 94 % of harmful bacteria for up to 24 hours. Sage is a member of the Salvia plant family, and the name derives form the Latin Salvere, which means ‘to heal’.

Sage Drum Feather Yet another piece of fascinating research explores how Sage has been (quote) ‘used in traditional medicine for the relief of pain, protecting the body against oxidative stress, free radical damages, angiogenesis, inflammation, bacterial and virus infection.. Several studies suggest that sage species can be considered for drug development because of their reported pharmacology and therapeutic activities in many countries of Asia and Middle East, especially China and India. These studies suggest that Salvia species, in addition to treating minor common illnesses, might potentially provide novel natural treatments for the relief or cure of many serious and life-threatening diseases such as depression, dementia, obesity, diabetes, lupus, heart disease, and cancer.’ It then explores in detail the chemical effects that Sage has on each of these issues, drawing the conclusion that (quote) ‘ ……… as a therapeutic agent. Salvia species may represent a natural, safe, and effective treatment for many diseases and their symptoms. In recent decades, with the increase in pharmacological knowledge about the beneficial effects of sage, especially S. officinalis, these herbal medicines with antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and antitumor activities have been found to be very effective in the development of novel natural drugs to prevent, control, and treat many minor health problems as well as more serious and complicated diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer.’ Ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4003706/ White Sage Smudge for cleansing your home is available from our website.
