White Sage
White sage (Salvia apiana, Ramona polystachya) is a highly aromatic, evergreen perennial shrub that has been medicinally and ceremonially significant to Indigenous peoples in California and Mexico for thousands of years. It’s a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae) and an integral component of coastal sagebrush in southwestern and Baja California — white sage’s only natural wild habitat.
