Origin & Lore

White sage, Salvia apiana, is a sage native to California and Baja California, used ceremonially by the Indigenous peoples of the region. In wider modern practice it is valued as a purifying scent for cleansing spaces, people and tools.

White sage grows wild on the dry hills of southern California and Baja California, its leaves so pale they look frosted.

White sage is used ceremonially by the Chumash, Cahuilla and other Indigenous peoples of southern California.

As its popularity has grown, many practitioners have turned to oils and garden sages to respect wild white sage populations, which are under pressure from overharvesting.
