What is salvia?
Salvia, or sage, is a large genus of plants, encompassing hundreds of species grown for culinary and ornamental purposes. Many garden supply stores carry several salvia species, differentiating between purely ornamental salvia and plants which can be used for cooking. All of the plants are characterized by upright flower stalks with clusters of often brightly colored flowers, along with square stems and slender grey-green to bright green leaves. When salvia is planted in an area it likes, the plant will flourish and reseed itself with little care.
Salvia from the Latin, “salvere,” meaning “to heal” is a unique visionary herb that has been used for centuries by Native American Mazatec shamans for healing and religious ceremonies. Recently, the Medical Properties of Salvia Divinorum have been explored by scientists around the world. Due to the amazing effects of this Legal Psychedelic, the Salvia Divinorum Herb has grown in popularity over the last 15 years, and is now sought all over the world as a source for relaxation, healing, spiritual development and recreation. “The world of everyday life cannot ever be taken as something personal that has power over us, something that could make us, or destroy us, because man’s battlefield is not in his strife with the world around him. His battlefield is over the horizon, in an area which is unthinkable for an average man, the area where man ceases to be a man.” – The Teachings of Don Juan, quoted by Carlos Castaneda.
