order now
Sage is a
perennial woody-stemmed herb which remains evergreen in
milder climates and will regrow each spring in areas with
harsher winters. Sage has long oval-shaped pebbly-textured
leaves which give off a heady aroma, which arises from
sage's essential oils. These oils are the source of the many
benefits of sage tea for
lung
problems
and
common
respiratory ailments.
This White Sage grows in the mountains of Central and
Southern California.
The white prairie
sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) is antimicrobial,
being a agent that kills microorganisms or stops their
growth, and it is antibacterial in that it destroys bacteria
or suppresses their growth or their ability to reproduce.
Living in Gallup, New Mexico the "Indian Capitol" of the
world I learned that the Navaho smoke sage in their pipe and
mix it with their tobacco to help with lung aliments.

“Burning sage is handed down from Native American
civilizations and is considered a spiritual practice
that removes negative energy,” Taz
Bhatia,
MD, an integrative
health expert and author of Super
Woman Rx tells
OprahMag.com, pointing to other benefits. “Sage, as
an herb, is antimicrobial, boosts memory and mental
clarity, and can improve air quality, according to
science.”
A study
published in the Journal
of Ethnopharmacol that
linked burning sage
to reducing airborne bacteria.
“Research
has shown that burning herbs or medicinal
smoke can purify the air and eliminate up
to 94
percent of harmful bacteria for up to
24 hours.
Burning sage may be
a blessing
for those with asthma, allergies,
bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions.

Research on the Sage Plant
Sage in Ancient Greek
means Wisdom, a sage is someone who has
attained the wisdom that a philosopher seeks. Sage is
in sauSAGE, it is a cooking herb and Sage has been held in
high regard throughout history both for it's culinary and
medicinal properties. The International Herb Association
awarded sage the title of "Herb of the Year" in 2001. Like
rosemary, its sister herb in the mint (Labitae) family, sage
contains a variety of volatile oils, flavonoids (including
apigenin, diosmetin, and luteolin), and phenolic acids,
including the phenolic acid named after rosemary rosmarinic
acid.
White Sage is found on the West Coast of California
to Mexico, and this Sage is found near Paso Robles and from
area where was used by the Salina Tribe for centuries
From South American through Central and North America and
into Canada Sage is found throughout history from the native
peoples. n many parts of the world us the many health benefits of sage, some of the most important
include its ability to improve brain function, lower
inflammation throughout the body, especially beneficial to
the lungs, prevent chronic diseases, boost the strength of
the immune system, regulate digestion, alleviate skin
conditions, increase the health and strength of bones, slow
the onset of cognitive disorders, and prevent the onset of
diabetes.
Mystics say the Native American practice of smudging, or
purifying a room with the smoke of sacred herbs, can help
clear negative energy from a space. And the apparent
benefits are steeped in science—when burned, sage and other
herbs release negative ions, which research has linked to a
more positive mood. This has been done for centuries by
Native American from South America to North America.
Some tribes bury their dead on a bed of sage, it is symbolic
in the Native American sweat lodges.
It's said that Smudging calls on the spirits of sacred
plants to drive away negative energies and restores balance.
After you light the sage smudge stick you fan with a feather
or your hand and let the smoke and it's invisible silent
energy flow over your body or in a room that you want to
clear negative energy.
For a cough
Sage tea is a traditional treatment for sore throats and
coughs, reports Dr. Tieraona Low Dog at Integrative
Practitioner, an informational website for practitioners of
integrative medicine. Traditional use of sage tea for coughs
spans the globe. The Ohlone people, indigenous inhabitants
of the central coast area of California, used local
varieties of sage (Salvia apiana and Salvia melliflera) for
cough treatment. A 2006 study of indigenous uses of local
medicinal plants in Azad jammu and Kashmir by a researcher
at the Department of Botany of the University of Azad jammu
and Kashmir, Pakistan, determined that sage leaf tea was
being used to treat coughs, colds and sore throats. The
Georgetown University Medical Center reports that sage tea
is used commonly in Europe for treatment of coughs. As a
side benefit, sage tea has been demonstrated in at least one
pilot clinical trial to reduce plasma LDL cholesterol and
total cholesterol levels, and it is also rich in
antioxidants, according to Georgetown University Medical
Center.
Infections
Sage is an expectorant which helps expel mucous from the
respiratory track, according to Ayurvedic practitioner
Vikrama, writing at
https://www.livestrong.com/article/277301-what-are-the-benefits-of-sage-tea-for-lung-problems/
Sage tea is effective even in the severe case of hemoptysis,
or hemorrhaging from the lungs brought on by respiratory
infection, Dr. Vikrama reports. Salvia officinalis has
antibacterial, astringent and antiseptic properties, advises
the Georgetown University Medical Center. These properties
may account for sage's usefulness in treating lung
disorders. Coughing up phlegm or blood may be indicative of
a serious health condition, however, so be sure to consult a
physician and follow medical advice before engaging in
self-treatment
Sinusitis and Lung Congestion
The rich aromatic properties arising from sage's volatile
oils of thujone, camphor, terpene and salvene can be put to
use by inhaling sage tea's vapors to dispel lung disorders
and sinusitis, Dr. Vikrama advises. Crush a handful of fresh
sage leaves in between your fingers, place them in a bowl
and pour in hot water, then drape a towel over your head and
breathe in the fumes. Alternatively, brew a strong pot of
sage tea and place it into a bowl or a vaporizer. But avoid
sage tea during pregnancy, the Georgetown University Medical
Center advises. It may stimulate contractions of the uterine
muscles.

Scientific paper titled Medicinal
Smokes research reviewed information from 50 countries
over 5 continents and found that, dating back to ancient
times, smoke administered medicinally
is typically used to aid lung, brain and skin function. In
addition, it was found that the passive fumes doubled as an
air purifier. A follow-up paper examining the air purifying
potentials
of smoke-based remedies was published in 2007, in
the Journal
of Ethnopharmacology. It concluded that, in addition to
health benefits, smudging was a powerful antiseptic. The
researchers observed that a one-hour treatment of medicinal
smoke in a closed room reduced airborne bacterial counts by
over ninety-four percent.
One very effective way to clear the air is by
burning
sage.
According to a Krueger and Reeds article on the biological
impact of small air ions, negative ions that
are released
when a space has been smudged with Sage have
been found to help fight the influenza
virus.
