Product Overview

Our White Sage, grown at a small family farm in Southern California, has a fresh, cooling, somewhat powerful, strongly camphoraceous aroma, with a mild cineolic aroma reminiscent of Rosemary. Due to its popularity, over-harvesting of wild White Sage populations is an ongoing concern with conservationists and Native peoples. Mindful use of this precious essential oil obtained only from farmed sources is prudent.  Cultivated and unsprayed.

The plant is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, found mainly in the coastal sage scrub habitat of Southern California and Baja California, on the western edges of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts.[1] Calming and cleansing, White Sage is traditionally used to make smudge sticks and for ceremonial purposes and is widely used as a soapless shampoo and conditioning rinse by Southern California Indians.

 Although many Americans know the common Sage (S. officinalis) found in gardens and kitchens, the less familiar White Sage (Salvia apiana) is a larger, hardier shrub whose silvery, evergreen leaves have been traditionally used for ceremonial cleansing.[2] The aroma of White Sage can be diffused to refresh room environments, or a drop of the oil can be rubbed on the hands to clear energy between clients.[3] Although there is very little data on White Sage essential oil, the broad constituent profile and the balance of potent aromatics indicates beneficial uses in diffusers or room sprays, massage and chest rubs, steams or saunas, or in specialized skincare preparations.

Trip to Spain

Our week long journey began in Barcelona and took us from the historic region of Catalonia to Valencia, Murcia, Castilla/La Mancha, Andalucía, Estremadura and finally back to the capital city, Madrid -- a drive of nearly 2000 km along the Iberian Peninsula.
