Blue sage is a pleasant herb to "smudge". It has a pleasant scent. Aside from having a purifying effect on your environment, blue sage has been known as a medicine for centuries. It is therefore also called the “grandmothers saga”. With this classic herb you create a pleasant atmosphere and fragrance. Expelling negative energy in this way is also referred to as "smudge".

Origin and effect of smearing

The ritual we call "Smudgen" comes from the Native Americans (Native Americans). They burned herbs like sage to contact the spirit world. In this way they rid their environment of evil spirits. Evil spirits do not tolerate blue and white sage . The Indians preferred to burn the herbs in a bowl. With a bowl they brought the four elements together. These are water (shell), earth (herbs), fire (combustion), and air (smoke).

Cleaning the living environment from negative energy has also become popular in Europe.

The best-known herbs for incense are white and blue sage. They have the same cleaning effect, but differ in smell. Blue sage has a softer, sweeter scent than white sage . The blue variant is perceived by many as somewhat milder. If you're just getting started with incense, blue sage is an excellent suggestion. The scent is fresh and sweet and reminds many people of the mountains. Blue sage can also be found under the names "Rocky Mountain sage" or gray sage. The herb is very popular and grows worldwide.

Tips for rubbing yourself with sage

Traditionally, incense is done to cleanse the environment of evil spirits or negative energy. However, you can also do this for other (personal) reasons. It is important that you choose an herb that suits you and that you perform the ritual in a way that suits you.

What you need for smoking are the incense sprigs of sage, a lighter and a fireproof bowl. For example, the shell can be an abalone shell. Light the branches and wait until you see a flame. Blow it out to make the herbs smolder. They now exude their pleasant scent. To clean the room properly, you can distribute the herbal air with a feather, for example.
