White Sage is perhaps best known for being used by some of the First Nations Peoples in America's Southwest as a cleansing ritual where sage is burned ceremonially, but sage has also been widely used in traditional remedies for thousands of years by countless cultures, from ancient Britain to Greece and Iran.
First Nations People would not have been surprised to hear of the University of Mississippi research which showed that white sage (Salvia apiana) is rich in compounds that activate brain receptors responsible for elevating mood levels, reducing stress, and even easing pain.
The Salvia varieties of white sage in our Room Spray are known to have antimicrobial, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, and to keep insects at bay, lending credence to the purifying aspect of using white sage to cleanse a space.
But as always, there's more to this than chemistry.
When you blend your thoughts with a beautiful botanical scent, you can create your own way of respecting and engaging with this ancient ritual.
Set your intention for cleansing
You may want to tidy your home, gift unwanted items away, shower, tie your hair back, open the windows and doors - whatever helps you feel your space is clean and free from impurities.
You can simply spritz your room with the White Sage Cleansing Spray and enjoy the refreshing fragrance - or you can use the time as a chance to consciously let go of thoughts that no longer serve you, and enjoy the feeling of cleansing your space and mind.
Close your eyes and exhale. Envision the stresses and worries you've been holding tight flowing away from your body, and dissipating in the air. Feel the air on your skin, sunlight on your eyelids, the weight of your blood in your veins as life surges through you.
Let the moments fill your body with calm.
Elevate your mood with sage
A beautiful fragrance can bring positivity to your day, and white sage may be enhancing your chemical ability to feel happier and less stressed - but being open to the possibility of feeling good is a key part of achieving some lightness of spirit.
In a pleasant space, spray our White Sage Cleansing Spray, and breathe deeply.
After a while, begin gathering thoughts of the things you are grateful for - big ones like your children, small ones like the perfect cup of tea you had at breakfast, sweet ones like the feel of your dog's fur under your fingers. Think of all your body does for you and send gratitude through your limbs.
Dwell in appreciation.
We hope your personal way of using our White Sage Cleansing Spray brings you peace and clarity.
