Salvia fruticosa is traditionally used for purification in various rituals and ceremonies. When comparing it to the white sage (Salvia apiana) from California, you will find that Greek sage is much more delicate. Collected and tied in the hills along the subtropical shores of the azure blue Ionian Sea in Albania by traveller and adventurer Pavel “Adventurer” Klega, you can visit his website here. Her fragrance is fresh, has feminine energy and a hint of lemon. Slow drying in the sun makes the scent and strength of this sage exceptional.

The Benefits of Greek Sage

• Strengthens the body, spirit and memory
• Relaxes the mind and raises the level of consciousness
• Purifies aura, chakras, spaces and objects from negative energies
• Bringing light, harmony, zest and joy to life
• Assists in finding one’s own path in life
• The whole plant has the same effects, burning both stems and leaves

How to incense with Greek sage

Light a bunch of sage over a candle, burning match or lighter. If it catches fire, blow it out. The ends of the leaves should slowly smoulder, releasing thick smoke. You can inhale the smoke lightly for internal cleansing. For external cleansing, walk the smoldering bundle around the area you want to cleanse. After cleansing, place the sage bundle on a ceramic plate. If you do not blow on it, it will stop smoldering on its own.
