About White Sage (Salvia apiana):

*White sage has recently gained in popularity as an incense to burn for spiritual purposes. Leaves are picked and then rolled into a ‘smudge stick’. This stick is then burned in an attempt to purify ones body or home. This ceremonial use is reminiscent of the manner white sage was used by the original settlers of California.

*White sage produces clusters of white, silver-grey leaves that have a very pleasant and distinct aroma.

*Medicinal Use: Drinking a cold cup of white sage tea may relieve indigestion. ... The tea can also be used to relieve colds since it decreases the mucous secretions of the lungs, sinuses and throat. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Guide mentions that Native Americans drank warm white sage tea as a natural cure for sore throat. Sage is also an excellent source of fiber, vitamin A, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and B vitamins such as folic acid, thiamin, pyridoxine, and riboflavin in much higher doses than the recommended daily requirements, plus healthy amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, thiamin, and copper.

* White sage, bee sage, or sacred sage, is one of the cornerstone species of the coastal sage scrub habitat of Southern California and Baja California. White sage produces clusters of white, silver-grey leaves that have a very pleasant and distinct aroma. The sage scent is earthy and soothing. Whitish, purple flowers emerge from the plant in the summer. These tiny flowers are pollinated by bumble-bees, hawk moths and wasps.

*It grows rapidly to 3 or 4 feet tall, with white flower spikes shooting up sometimes 8 feet or more. The leaves (about 1.5-3 inches long) are covered with dense hairs, which give them a white coloring, sometimes with a blueish tint. Younger leaves tend to be greener, and turn whiter as they get older. Native people use the dried leaves as an incense for ceremonial purposes.
