Research shows that burning sage removes a whopping 94% of bacteria in the air. When the researchers tested the air a day later, it was still clean. The best method for this is called “smudging.” You take a bunch of dried sage, twist it into a stick shape, then light one end of the “stick” on fire and then blow it out. The resulting smoke “smudges” the air in the room and the properties in the smoke kill most of the existing bacteria in the air.

White sage is preferred and you can find sage burners for burning it.

Unlike chemical air “purifiers” that only mask the smells in the air, sage is 100% natural and will not cause allergic reactions for people with scent

 Sage also smells great!
The research found that the smoke needs about an hour to cleanse the air,
so make sure you burn enough sage to last that long. 

PETS...  USE CAUTION:
Keep all pets our of the area/room where you are burning sage.

However, if you have a pet and want to use this practice in your home, follow these tips:

 - Never burn the plant while your pet is in the same room;
it doesn’t need to be directly exposed to cause irritation!

- Keep an eye on them after they come into contact with the plant;

- if you notice any signs of illness, take them to a vet immediately.

If your pet is not sensitive to sage smoke and has no bad reaction
after coming in contact with it, do still use with caution!

Use common sense - better SAFE than SORRY!
