Salvia Herbs

Salvia is the Spanish name for sage, one of the best known cleansing herbs in the world. In the botanica it's a staple for baths and home cleansings. Each order is one fresh bunch.

What is Salvia used for?

Salvia is used to cleanse and purify. People use it in spiritual baths to wash away heavy energy, in floor washes to refresh the home, and in cleansings when they want a fresh start and a clear mind.

How do people use it?

• Cleansing baths: the leaves are torn into water for a purifying bath.
• Floor washes: the water is used to clean the home and clear stale energy.
• Combined baths: it's mixed with herbs like Albahaca or Romero for a full bath.

It's a gentle, everyday herb. Your godparent or olorisha will tell you how it fits into your own work, since every house has its own way.
