This garden sage incense is made from the dried leaves of Salvia officinalis. Its clean, herbal smoke creates a clear, collected mood in a room.
About garden sage
The ancient Romans honoured this sage as "Herba Sacra," the sacred herb. Its Latin name comes from salvare — to keep safe, to preserve — which says much about the traditional ideas attached to the plant. It was a favoured, much-valued incense in mystical ritual.
Tradition and atmosphere
Tradition holds that garden sage smoke is purifying, strengthens belief, vision and spirituality, and creates a clear, bright atmosphere. It is an excellent companion to meditation and moments of quiet.
How to use it
Place a pinch of the dried sage on glowing charcoal in a heatproof dish, or on a sieve burner. It blends well with other green or resinous incenses.
Good to know
