Sage – A Sacred Traditional Medicine

Sage (Salvia apiana or Artemisia ludoviciana) is one of the four sacred medicines, alongside sweetgrass, cedar, and tobacco, in many Indigenous traditions.

Used for generations by various First Nations peoples, sage holds an important place in spiritual practices and purification ceremonies.

When burned, its smoke is traditionally used to cleanse people, spaces, and sacred objects, clear negative energies, and promote harmony, protection, and inner balance.

A symbol of purification, healing, and spiritual connection, sage remains a deeply respected plant in many Indigenous cultures.
