White Sage has antimicrobial and antibacterial qualities that keep bacteria, viruses and infectious fungi at bay. When burned, it releases negative ions and helps neutralize positive ions, i.e. allergens such as pet dander, pollution, dust and mold. This characteristic is said to improve the quality of the air and consequently, to soften afflictions like asthma or allergies.
