In this episode of Remedy & Rhyme, we sit with the wise and aromatic presence of Garden Sage (Salvia officinalis) — a plant known across cultures not only for its culinary charm, but for its deep-rooted connection to memory, protection, and transformation. We explore how Sage’s gifts of clarity and discernment can support us in times of transition, especially as we age, offering the invitation to ripen rather than wither.
We also dip into how this plant can bless and cleanse through the ancient practice of smoke medicine, honoring the many cultures that have tended this sacred fire in different forms. You'll hear some practical ways to bring Sage into your own rhythms of care and ceremony. This episode is an invitation to remember: wisdom isn’t something you chase — it’s something that ripens in you, like Sage in the sun.
