For centuries, the native Indians of North America have been initiating their purification ceremonies and healing sessions by burning its dried leaves into smudge sticks. White Sage is considered sacred and is believed to cleanse a space of any evil spirits or negative energies that may be present. Its smoke is also used to bless, cleanse and heal the person or object being smudged. White sage has a highly aromatic and resinous scent that enables greater capacity of concentration and greater ease of relaxation."
