Today is the #SundayScentExperience with the 
I am exploring the scent of sage and some of its uses today. I'm here to give you some sage advice on it.
The sage leaf is used for medicinal reasons. Some, but not all of the uses include digestive problems, loss of appetite, gas (flatulence), stomach pain (gastritis), diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. It is used for memory loss and Alzheimer's disease. Depression. Also for slowing down the overproduction of perspiration and saliva.
You can eat sage, but, you probably would not want to. It has a rather unpleasant taste, but when cooked it becomes rather mellow.
You can drink sage tea leaves for your digestion, throw a few dried or fresh sage leaves in your food. Sage is an anti-bacterial, so you can chew the leaves and rub them on your gums to prevent/help with gingivitis. You can fill a bottle with fresh sage leaves and pour a high quality (I use olive) oil over it and you will have a delightful salad dressing. The uses are endless.
Sage is one of the very oldest methods known for cleansing a person, or even an area or a particular space.
Many believe that the smoke can purify a space and chase out negative energy. The plant exudes a fantastically therapeutic aroma when steeped, burned, or smelled in the wild--it is no wonder that the practice of burning sage has grown into such a rich tradition - Wiki
Burning Sage: Many of the benefits are spiritual and psychological--but there is a physical component.
On a spiritual level: Many people use sage burning and smudging to connect with ancestral tradition. It is a common belief that the strong scent of sage can purge the negative energy from a room, a home, and a heart.
On a psychological level: The act of burning sage can mark a beginning, a resolution, a turning-over of a new leaf. When you accept the time-honored ritual and put your faith in the power of burnt sage, you can purge yourself of negativity and find true peace of mind.
On a physical level: Sage releases negative ions into the air when it is burned, and research suggests that exposure to negative ions may correlate to lower rates of depression. The strength of this correlation is still unclear, but know that sage at least has not been shown to have any negative effect. According to Wiki
As an aside, it has been mistaken for cannabis when burning in the smudge. (This is known as smudging) You can easily find small bundles in the grocery and health stores. Many farmers markets, but, always available in head shops, smoke shops, and places where incense is sold.
