✨ Description

Sage — from the Latin salvere, meaning “to be saved” — is one of the oldest and most respected herbs in both medicine and magic. Its velvety, aromatic leaves hold a world of healing power: cleansing, purifying, and strengthening the body and spirit.

Our Egyptian Sage Leaves are hand-harvested and air-dried to preserve their silvery-green color and robust aroma. Known for their antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-parasitic properties, these leaves are used internally to cleanse the blood, support digestion, and promote detoxification.

Traditionally, sage is considered an herb of protection and purification, both physically and energetically — used to banish negative energy, stagnation, and toxins from body and space alike.

🍵 Internal Uses & Benefits

• Parasite & Blood Cleanse: Naturally antimicrobial and antiparasitic; supports intestinal health and circulation.
• Digestive Health: Eases bloating, gas, and sluggish digestion.
• Liver & Detox Support: Promotes bile flow and helps the body process waste efficiently.
• Respiratory Support: Clears mucus and eases congestion from colds or allergies.
• Hormonal & Nervous System Support: Used traditionally for hot flashes, anxiety, and fatigue.

How to Use:

• Tea: Steep 1 tsp dried leaves in 1 cup of hot water for 10–15 minutes. Strain and sip 1–2 cups daily.
• Tincture: 30–40 drops in water, up to twice daily.
• Powder: ¼–½ tsp added to detox smoothies or capsules for cleansing support.
• Culinary: Adds depth to meats, soups, and herbal broths.

Pairs Well With:

• Wormwood or Neem Leaf: For parasite cleansing.
• Dandelion or Burdock Root: For liver detox and blood purification.
• Rosemary or Thyme: For respiratory and immune support.

💧 External Uses

Sage can be infused in oils, vinegar, or water for use as a cleansing body rinse, scalp tonic, or natural deodorant. Its antiseptic qualities make it ideal for minor skin infections, insect bites, or oily scalp.

Add a handful of sage leaves to a cleansing bath or foot soak to purify both body and energy.

🌬️ Smoking & Aromatic Use

Sage Leaf is one of the most well-known herbs for smoke cleansing.
When burned, it produces a crisp, clarifying aroma that purifies negative energy and refreshes the air. It may also be used in herbal smoking blends with mullein, damiana, or lavender for calm, focus, and respiratory clarity.

To cleanse your space or self, burn sage slowly, allowing the smoke to rise as you set an intention for renewal and release.

🐾 For Pets

Use only externally around pets for cleansing or flea deterrent sprays. Avoid internal use for cats and dogs due to its essential oil content unless directed by a holistic vet.

🔮 Metaphysical & Energetic Uses

Element: Air & Earth
Chakra Alignment: Throat & Solar Plexus

Energetically, Sage is the herb of purification and wisdom.
It clears energetic parasites and stagnant emotions just as effectively as it cleanses the body’s bloodstream. It opens the throat chakra, allowing truth and clarity to flow freely, and strengthens the solar plexus, enhancing willpower and confidence.

Sage is often burned before meditation, prayer, or ritual to reset the energy of a space and invite protection and clarity.

Affirmation:

“I release all that is heavy and welcome peace, purity, and renewal.”

🌻 A Note from the Herbalist

Sage is the purifier of both blood and spirit.
It reminds us that cleansing is not about stripping away — it’s about making space for clarity and renewal.
In my practice, I often include sage in parasite or detox protocols for its ability to purify gently yet deeply while grounding the body in balance.

“To clear is to heal; to release is to rise.”
