As it turns out, sage may help purify the air of much more than just bugs and germs.
While this has not been confirmed experimentally, it is believed that the burning of sage releases negative ions. Positivity ions are said to be reduced by this.
The most common positive ions are allergens, such as:
- Pollution from pet dander
- Dust
- Mold, and
- Other airborne particles
For people who suffer from respiratory ailments, including asthma, allergies, and bronchitis, smoking sage may be an excellent remedy. However, the smoke inhaled while smudging might exacerbate any respiratory problem. Don't go inside that room until it's smoke-free.
** Each stick is 4 inches. Choose your sage from the drop down.
