Black Sage is used to encourage dreams and visions, an herb of introspection and inner healing. When burnt before bedtime, it aids in restful sleep and pleasant dreams. It is used for astral travel, shamanic journeying, and for protection during such excursions.
White Sage is an herb held sacred by Native Americans for hundreds of years. Used in rituals and ceremonies for centuries, it is often burned to create its intended effects. Burning sage is a ritual known as smudging. Smudging is a cleansing ceremony used to help people, places, or even objects get rid of negative energy or even bad spirits.
In general, the use of sage for health purposes is recognized as safe. But if you plan on using sage internally, it is important to let your doctor know (just as you should with any complementary medicines you take). As far as burning sage is concerned, it is generally safe to do so, even around children and pets. AS ALWAYS DO NOT LEAVE SOMETHING BURNING UNATTENDED.
