White Sage(Salvia)

Sage
How to use?
It is desirable that the sage be lit by candlelight. Hold on the fire for 10-20 seconds, then the flame is blown out, the sage is placed in a fireproof container and with the smoke it forms begins to smoke. It is important to always open a window to let stagnant energy out. You can repeat in your mind - "Let the unnecessary, heavy energy voluntarily leave space (the object, my mind) and go out the window / door. "
When we're done, we can put out the smoking sage in the sand.
Why sailing?
In 2007, a scientific report by the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that in one hour "medical smoke" reduces bacteria in the air by more than 94% . And this effect remains indoors for more than 24 hours. When we burn sage or other herbs, negative ions are released, which automatically purify the space.
The Latin name for sage is sage and in translation - treatment.
