White sage
Salvia apiana
A silvery-leafed Californian sage held sacred in many Native traditions and used for smoke cleansing.
Traditional use
Bundles are burned for clearing space and prayer. Sourcing matters: wild white sage is overharvested — buy only from Native-owned suppliers or grow your own.
How to prepare
Light the tip of a small bundle, let it smoke gently, walk the smoke around the space with intention. Have a bowl underneath.
Safety notes
Don't inhale smoke directly; ventilate. Skip the smoke if asthmatic or pregnant. Consider whether this is your tradition to use.
