Our White Sage, grown at a small family farm in Southern California, has a fresh, penetrating, cooling, somewhat powerful, strongly camphoraceous aroma, with a mild cineolic aroma reminiscent of Rosemary.
Although many Americans know (Common) Sage as the dried herb that gives Thanksgiving stuffing its distinctive flavor, the less familiar White Sage (Salvia apiana) has been traditionally used in Native American culture in foods and for ceremonial cleansing. It can be diffused to purify room environments, or a drop can be rubbed on the hands to disinfect and clear energy between clients. Although there is very little data on White Sage essential oil, herbalist Michael Moore notes that the diterpenes in the oil address a wide range of microbes, while the balance of potent aromatics maximizes penetration, increasing efficacy of the oil’s beneficial actions.
