The Science of Smudging: Sage’s Effect on Bacteria
Smudging involves burning herbs like white sage, sweet grass, eucalyptus, cedar, or lavender, typically using a smudge stick of dried sage leaves. The smoke is wafted through the air with a feather or hand, often with intentions of cleansing or healing. Beyond its spiritual benefits, does smudging impact the physical environment?

Key Findings:
• Burning sage reduced airborne bacteria by up to 94% in a closed space within one hour.
• The air remained nearly free of harmful bacteria for 24 hours, with some pathogens absent even after 30 days.

These results suggest sage smoke has potent antimicrobial properties, making it a potential tool for air purification in enclosed spaces.

How It Works: Sage contains bioactive compounds like volatile oils and terpenes (e.g., 1,8-cineole, camphor, thujone). When burned, these compounds are released, interacting with bacterial cell structures to neutralize them.
