Black Lavender Sage Smudge 4 inches long

Black lavender is a common name for the herb in the mint family also called purple sage. Black lavender sage is an evergreen woody shrub that is adapted to arid climates. This species produces beautiful bluish purple flowers in late spring to early summer and is easy to grow. It has a long history of numerous medicinal uses, as a cold remedy, for treating upset stomachs, and to alleviate headaches. It also makes an excellent incense fragrance by itself. As a smudging herb, it can be used for all the same things as white sage, such as protection, banishing negativity, and removing evil spirits. Yet it also brings in a positive, loving energy.
