It produces small, fuzzy, grayish leaves in the spring; blue, red or purple flowers in summer; and brownish, nut-like fruits in the fall. As a member of the sages in the mint family of plants, its aromatic leaves are often dried and used to season meats and stuffing, but it is in its distinctive, sundried, bright red roots that considerable medicinal benefits are stored. Although other species of sage were mentioned in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as early as 206 B.C., Salvia Root first appeared in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing in the first century A.D., and it held a very high position for treating the heart, abdomen, gurgling in the intestines, breaking and eliminating stone and relieving fullness.

Salvia Root has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth, reduce fever, diminish inflammation, ease skin problems and aid urinary excretion of toxins. History: Salvia Root is a member of the multi-species Salvia genus, and despite the fact that any herb of this genus may be called sage, there are significant differences in medicinal components in the tops and roots that influence their uses. In an 1833 publication, Russian botanist, Alexander von Bunge (1803-1890), gave the plant its botanical genus, Salvia, which is translated from the Latin word, salvere, meaning ''to be saved'' or ''to cure,'' as sage enjoyed the reputation of being able to cure a multitude of ills. Salvia Root is part of a small plant that grows abundantly in Asia, and because of its importance in herbal medicine, it has been cultivated as a crop on farms in China, Japan and Korea. It is a wild perennial that grows mostly in sunny areas, and can survive in poor soils.

Its medicinal uses abound, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-ageing qualities. Improve your memory; calm your digestive and nervous systems with Sage. History: Sage is an evergreen shrub with a distinctive fragrance that may grow to a height of almost three feet, and it thrives in rich, well-drained soil in sunny locations. It is native to the Mediterranean region and was introduced to North America in the seventeenth century, where it continues to grow throughout the temperate regions. Sage is a member of the multi-species Salvia genus, and despite the fact that any herb of this genus may be called Sage, there are significant differences in medicinal components in the tops and roots that influence their uses. Salvia officinalis (Garden Sage) and Salvia miltiorrheza (Salvia Root/Red Root Sage) are in no way similar to another member of the Sage genus, Salvia divinorum, which is a dangerous psychoactive plant and subject to regulation as a controlled substance under several states’ drug regulation statutes. In an 1833 publication, Russian botanist, Alexander von Bunge (1803-1890), gave the plant its botanical genus, Salvia, which is translated from the Latin word, salvere, meaning ''to save'' or ''to cure,'' as Sage enjoyed the reputation of being able to cure a multitude of ills, and many varieties of Sage possess virtually all the same properties. The Romans, who named this robust herb, held it in the highest regard and thought it to be the herbal savior of mankind. Those ancients considered it a sacred herb and believed that its growth in one's garden would promote immortality. An old Arab proverb asked, ''How shall a man die who has Sage in his garden?'' - a reference to the plant's power of immortality. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) mentioned the use of Sage in 206 B.C., to increase physical strength, mental equanimity and alertness, and body heat

If you are interested in producing your own homegrown incense, right in your backyard, then there are two particular plants that are absolutely ideal. The first is sweetgrass, or Hierochloe odorata. Sweetgrass primarily grows in Canada, however, you can also find it sprouting up in northern Europe. Sweetgrass possesses a vanilla-like scent, and is commonly used for making dried braids in addition to incense. The other plant that is very suitable for growing your own incense is white sage (Salvia apiana), which is also known as "bee sage" or "sacred sage". White sage thrives mainly in a small portion of southern California on the coast and also in northwestern Mexico.

White sage is used as a purification incense. It was used by Native Americans in a process called smudging, where the smoke from the burnt white sage leaves is spread about the body with a bird feather or wing. In addition, white sage also possesses medicinal value (clearing the sinuses, stomach tonic, etc.) and typically the leaves are burned in order to produce the incense through the use of bundled leaves called smudge sticks.

The nice thing about both these herbs, is that they can be conveniently and efficiently grown in your own backyard with a little specialized care. The first thing to do is to must make sure that the soil is continually replenished with nutritional elements that these plants need, like phosphorous, nitrogen, and calcium. This is important because each time that you harvest the leaves of your plants, minerals are removed that are not effectively replenished solely by chemical fertilizers. Rather, an all-natural fertilizer such as bone meal or blood meal is appropriate in order to replace a wide variety of soil nutrients that sweetgrass and white sage require, without affecting soil microbes that facilitate plant growth.

Sweetgrass stands (areas in which sweetgrass grows) are mostly created through the use of root plugs, because a large amount of sweetgrass seeds are incapable of reproduction. These root plugs should be grown in plastic pots that are not too deep or narrow and then, after being kept in a shady area and filling out the pot, they can be transferred to your garden. Make sure that the soil is rich in nutrients, especially trace elements and also that it is moist and not full of clay or poorly drained. It is also important that your sweetgrass plants have access to plenty of sunlight, and are fertilized at least twice during the growing season with a natural fertilizer.

As for white sage, it can also be initially planted in pots and then transferred. Starting with the seed is possible, however, white sage seed is difficult to grow unless in sandy soil with plenty of water daily. White sage is not as resistant to cold weather as sweetgrass, and so outside of its natural habitat it needs to be brought inside for the winter in pots or used as an annual instead of a perennial. White sage also needs excellent drainage, as it won't stand much excess water. All things considered, using an all-natural fertilizer is the best way to ensure that your sweetgrass and white sage will grow effectively outside of their natural growing areas. If you follow the guidelines for planting these herbs and avoid using chemical fertilizers that can easily burn the plants, then you'll have your own supply of incense right in your backyard!
