Unlike common garden sage, white sage is not the variety that you want to use to season stuffing. This is the smudging herb that Native Americans traditionally use for ceremony and ritual. The leaves are dried and either smoldered over hot coals or they are rolled and tied with thread to make smudge sticks. American Indians consider this type of sage to be the king of all sages, and use it in smudging ceremonies. It is said that smudging sage removes negative energy from a person, clears the mind, and relaxes the body. Disclaimer - While we work to ensure that product information is corr
