Sage has been used for centuries to cleanse and purify homes.

To use sage to cleanse a house, start by choosing a well-ventilated room. Open all windows and doors for proper air circulation. Light the sage bundle at one end using a lighter or matchstick until it begins to smolder. Hold the bundle over an abalone shell, ceramic bowl or any other fireproof container to catch any ashes that may fall off.

Once smoke is produced, walk around your home in a clockwise direction starting from the front door, allowing the smoke to flow into every corner of each room while focusing on positive intentions. You can also recite prayers or mantras as you move around your house if you wish. Be sure to pay attention to areas such as closets, basements and attics where stagnant energy could be trapped.

Afterwards, extinguish the sage bundle by gently pressing it against the fireproof container and allow it cool down before discarding it safely away from children and pets. You should then close all doors and windows after cleansing to keep positive energy inside your home while preventing negative energies from entering again.

It can be used as a traditional cleaning agent or as a natural air freshener.

Sage has been used for centuries as a natural cleaning agent and air freshener. It is commonly used in spiritual practices to cleanse spaces of negative energy, but it can also be used as a traditional cleaning agent. To use sage as a cleaning agent, create a solution by boiling dried sage leaves in water for 10-15 minutes. Let the solution cool down before transferring it to a spray bottle. Use this mixture on surfaces such as countertops, floors, and windows.

Sage can also be used to freshen up the air in your home naturally. Create an herbal sachet using dried sage leaves and place it in areas where you want to eliminate odors such as closets or bathrooms. You can also burn sage bundles (also known as smudging) to purify the air and create an uplifting atmosphere in your home. When burning sage bundles, make sure to open windows or doors to allow the smoke and negative energy out.

Overall, using sage not only cleanses your home physically but also spiritually by getting rid of negative energy that may linger within your space. Incorporating this herb into your cleaning routine will leave you with a refreshed and positive environment both inside and out.

You can use sage to clean surfaces, air vents, and even the inside of windows.

For air vents, you can sprinkle dried sage leaves into a bowl or dish and place them near the vent. As the air flows through the vent, it will pick up the scent of sage which has been shown to have antimicrobial properties.

Cleaning windows with sage is easy as well. Simply brew a strong cup of sage tea using fresh leaves and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, use it to wipe down your windows for an all-natural window cleaner that not only cleans but also provides aromatherapy benefits as well!

Make a sage solution by combining 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of sage powder.

One way to use sage is by making a sage solution, which involves combining 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of sage powder. This solution can be used in various ways to cleanse your house.

Firstly, you can pour the sage solution into a spray bottle and use it as a room spray. Simply walk around the house and spray the solution into all corners and areas that need cleansing. Alternatively, you can soak cotton balls in the solution and place them around different rooms in your home or burn dried sage leaves.

It’s important to note that when using any type of smoke, including burning sage leaves, ensure proper ventilation so that smoke does not accumulate inside your home. Remember, cleansing with sage should always be done intentionally with positive energy and clear intentions for what you want to achieve.
