GLOBAL SHAMAN DESERT SAGE

This aromatic shrub thrives in the windswept deserts of the Santa Fe/Taos area. It has skinny, branched leaves and a light brown color.

Desert Sage has a warm herbaceous aroma that is a bit peppery (think Bay leaves or Mint tea). It is used for cleansing and purifying, protection, and inner strength. It is said to bring pleasant thoughts and relieve headaches and anxiety.

Desert Sage is available both loose and in smudge sticks. It blends well with most other smudging herbs. Desert Sage produces a dense, straw-like bundle that is sometimes sprinkled with resin incenses for an especially rich combination. Desert Sage laced with Dragon’s Blood or Copal is just delicious!

GLOBAL SHAMAN SAGE

The sage smudge is the most common burning plant used by Native people.  Sage  is traditionally used as a space clearing plant, to remove negative energy indoors and out.  It supports healing rituals, sweat lodge ceremonies and festivals.  Its fresh herbal fragrance rejuvenates the mind and enhance mental clarity and memory.

Global Shaman Native smudges are sustainably harvested by Native Peoples.  A portion of sales supports a Native reservation cooperative, and initiative that is providing hope for a community in poverty.  The different herbs used in our smudges are grown and harvested by Native people in a sustainable manner that preserves their natural habitat.  Our smudges are packaged in biodegradable bags, with eco-friendly handtabs, in keeping with our commitment to the environment.   For centuries smudging, the burning of aromatic herbs, has been believed to release the beneficial properties of each plant.
