Since it naturally flourishes in areas where it’s also extremely popular, this has depleted stands of white sage to the point where it’s becoming difficult to find in unprotected areas.This provides a tiny amount of extra nitrogen to help spur plant growth, but won’t overwhelm your plants. This plant grows in the northern plains area of the United States, and is hard to find outside of that region. It has a strong and rich aromatic smell, with properties that are associated with cleansing, purifying and healing.

Amongst Californian peoples, white sage is occasionally referred to as grandfather sage, as it grows to be so much larger in its elder form than any of the other sages in California. Burning sage can be as detailed or as simple as you want it to be, but it’s of the highest importance that your intent is clear before you begin. Cleansing means to rid the body or home of negative energies and to protect the people, animals and the home. Do you have deer that come into your garden to feast on your hostas, hydrangeas, or other garden plants? Once your sage plant is over 3 years old, chances are you’re not going to want to try to transplant it anymore so you don’t risk transplant stress.We want the Sage to continue to grow in the wild for future generations, so when purchasing, assure the person who picked it was familiar with ethical harvesting guidelines. This ensures that your leaves will be dry at the time of harvest, reducing the likelihood of mildew forming on them later. Before burning sage, some recommend setting intentions if cleansing for spiritual, energetic, and negativity clearing purposes.
