A note on sourcing

White sage (Salvia apiana) is over-harvested in the wild and is sacred to many Native American peoples. Garden sage, rosemary, or other herbs you can grow yourself are respectful alternatives for smoke cleansing.

Traditional associations only, not medical advice. Check for allergies and pregnancy safety before handling, burning or ingesting any herb, and only ingest herbs you know to be food-safe.
