**I DO NOT SELL WHITE SAGE!** 

White sage is often used for its purported cleansing and healing properties. It is traditionally used in Native American rituals for purification and spiritual healing. However, using white sage without understanding or respecting its cultural significance can be considered cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation occurs when elements of a minority culture are taken by members of a dominant culture without permission, often stripping away the original context and meaning. In the case of white sage, it is a sacred plant to many Native American tribes, and its overharvesting due to commercial demand is also causing environmental concerns. By using white sage without acknowledging its cultural significance and the issues surrounding its use, one can unintentionally disrespect the traditions and beliefs of Native American communities. It's important to approach such practices with sensitivity and respect, ensuring that you are not contributing to the exploitation or misrepresentation of another culture.
