White Sage.

The sage of smudging and sacred ceremony, carried in a small bottle for the days when burning the herb is not appropriate. A few drops in the diffuser, and the room fills with the clean, camphor-bright scent of white sage.

This is Salvia apiana, steam-distilled from sage grown sustainably on a certified organic, family-owned farm in Southern California, close to sea level, which makes it higher in camphor than high-altitude sages. To our noses it smells exactly as white sage should. Where it comes from matters: wild white sage has been threatened by rampant illegal poaching for commercial sale, and this grower works in close connection with the local Indigenous community, whose elders have put their faith in the farm's efforts. White sage has long been used by Native peoples of Southern California and Mexico in sacred ceremonies, and it is said to be calming.

How to use

Diffuse a few drops to clear and freshen a room, or use it in a room mist where burning sage is not appropriate. If diffusing is not convenient, our White Sage Hydrosol is easy to use. Avoid it during pregnancy, never take it internally, and see our contraindications page for other oils to avoid.
