It brings you to the moment and signals your body that it’s time to calm down. That’s how we can get easily influenced by a smell and remind of a moment or a space in an instant and that’s why it’s usually burnt before meditation and mindfulness practices. Smell is the only sense that does not directly go to thalamus, where the information is processed in the conscious mind, instead it first visits the areas in our brain about memory and emotion. Sage will uplift your mood and bring you to the moment with its lovely aroma. You can have a little sage bath on your body when you feel moody or lack of energy. Smudging is also practiced with objects and on yourself. Sage has antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, thus it can kill the bacteria, microbes, fungi and even the little insects, chemicals from wall paint or toxins from the cleaning products that are polluting the air. What sage actually does is, it purifies the air. Smudging is defined as “the process of burning dried plants or other natural elements and then using the smoke to cleanse the body, objects, or even places,” by Rosalyn LaPier, Ph.D., an award-winning Indigenous writer and ethnobotanist.īefore rituals and spiritual practices tribal people burned sage to neutralise the energy of the space. Sage has been used in Native American cultures for hundreds of years as a smudge. You may be used to seeing sage in herbal teas or in pasta sauces but actually there is another magical way to use it and it’s not related to food & beverage.
