Not to be confused with Common Sage, White Sage has a long history of being used by Indigenous Peoples for religious ceremonies and in their cooking. It is used in aromatherapy cleansing essential oil that can help clear the respiratory system and dispel negative energy.
Although the IUCN Red List has not yet evaluated White Sage (Salvia apiana), it is sensible to consider this species as threatened. Please use care when choosing this oil. Our white sage is grown sustainably on a family farm in Southern California.
