White Sage is an evergreen perennial shrub that is native to the United States and Mexico. Smudging, the burning of the dried leaves, is an ancient Native American tradition where White Sage is used to cleanse and purify a space or person of unwanted or negative energies. White Sage can also be used as a tea for colds, sore throat, sinus congestion, indigestion or heavy menstruation. It is also valuable as a culinary spice, with similar flavour to garden sage. Sage can reduce all bodily secretions (mucous, breast milk, sweat), so avoid internal use in pregnancy and lactation.

PHYTOTHERAPY
PHYTOTHERAPY
White sage (Salvia apiana )
Salvia apiana leaves are rich in aromatic terpenoids (notably 1,8-cineole, camphor, α-pinene, β-pinene) along with diterpenoids, triterpenoids, C23 terpenoids and minor flavonoids, constituting a complex phytochemical profile typical of white sage essential oils.¹,² These volatile compounds interact with cellular redox systems and microbial membranes in vitro, and white sage extracts have demonstrated antioxidative and antimicrobial activity in laboratory models.¹
Traditional use of dried leaves by Indigenous peoples of southwestern North America includes burning the foliage for ceremonial purposes, and preparing aqueous infusions of the leaves for supportive respiratory and mucosal care.² Phytochemical investigations further note the presence of species-specific terpenoids and phenolic acids in S. apiana that differ quantitatively from other Salvia species, and contemporary studies continue to examine the biochemical significance of these constituents, particularly in relation to aroma, membrane interactions, and antioxidant profiles.¹,²

Aedan M. It has a nice effect. An odd mix of relaxation and stimulation, and a bit of light-headedness.
It also works wonders at reducing phlegm.
It's quite harsh though and not the best flavour.

jacob v. I initially bought this herb to try its rumored psychoactive effects. Smoking it is pleasant, and it has a nice mint almost menthol-like taste. It does create some foggy-headedness and slightly altered perception but is nowhere near what is said to happen when you smoke it. I have found, however, that it works very well for relaxing and easing muscle tension. Smoking this before bed is great and has a feel similar to a slight cannabis buzz. This initial effect lasts 10-15 minutes, after which the more relaxing effects kick in. I'd say it's a great product. Not what I bought it for but I still enjoy the effects.
