    Hi,

    If u wanted smoke that would be less irritating than incense u could try
    dropping the essential oil directly on a hot
    ceramic plate. Five drops should do it.

    Sage is not good for those suffering from epilepsy if taken in tincture
    form. Anyone know if the smoke will be bad as well?

    What about Frankincense as an alternative? I was told to use Sage and
    Frankincense together.

    Best regards,

    Johan

    Dear Jen,

    >> Over the past years I have been involved with people and still am
    that use sage and I want to be able to use it, however, I have an
    allergic asthma response ro any smoke. What I have done is hold my
    breath. Being with others that use sage or sweetgrass is unavoidable
    at times and I don't really want to exclude myself to the ceremonies. Do
    you have any other suggestions? I would like to cure this reaction to
    it. What I have been doing to cleanse an object or a room as an
    adaptation is use essential oils in a atomizer and with intention and
    visualization I spray the bottle in the air above and around in all of
    the directions instead of using smoke. I am unsure if it is equally
    effective because the smoke can physically saturate and Sage is such a
    healing plant. Does this really matter or is my intention enough? I
    would appreciate your thoughts on this. <<

    Your atomizer idea is a good compromise, but as you say, this doesn't
    create the degree of penetration that burning Sage does. Another way to
    achieve pretty much the same degree of penetration but without smoke
    would be to *heat* the essential oil. This will volatize the essential
    oil quite effectively.

    The simplest method is to suspend a small ceramic or metal dish over a
    candle flame and pour some water into the dish. When the candle flame
    has heated the water, place a few drops of Sage essential oil into the
    hot water. This will volatize the Sage essential oil and create a
    penetrating aroma.

    The drawback of this method is that it's difficult to direct the aroma
    toward the quarters or to specific objects in the same way as with smoke
    or your atomizer. In other words, it's good for suffusing an entire
    room but not so handy for targeted detail work.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
