Californian white sage (Salvia Alpine) is a scrub plant with spiky flowers and is found along the sun-washed coastline of Southern California. Sage is a cleansing and purifying herb and can be used to help disperse negative energy. Traditionally, it's regarded as being able to open people up and bring about the ability to have a greater connection with the sacred world. Its properties make it ideal for use in cleansing and clearing ceremonies of people, places and objects, as well as for meditation or prayer.
