Sage-smoking is good?

I heard smoking sage instead of tobacco cleans your respiratory system, unlike tobacco. Is this true?

Sage-smoking is good?
Usually sage is not smoked, as in inhaled. White sage (Salvia apiana) is burned like incense, to clean the air. (Native Americans burn it to cleanse a home of bad spirits.)

Cooking Sage (Salvia officinalis) has some hormonal effects and is brewed into a tea to relieve hot flashes %26amp; to stop milk flow in nursing mothers. It is not to be used by persons w/ high blood pressure or epilepsy, in pregnancy or if there is blood in the urine.



Mullein leaf is sometimes smoked to clear up the lungs when a person has a bad, mucousy cough. It is typically used only 3x in a day, though.



If you want a healthier alternative to tobacco smoking, try herbal cigarettes from the health food store. Here is one popular brand: http://www.honeyrose.co.uk/
Reply:There's confusion between 2 distinctly different varieties of sage. The type smoked for medicinal %26amp; mystical purposes is salvia divinorum - NOT the same as what's commonly burned in native American ritual to smudge. MORE INFO @ http://reference.com/search?q=...

Reply:smoking is harmful no matter what ways it is not true but sage smoking i have done a research it is all right
Reply:All smoke has tar in it. It's the smoke, not the tobacco, that clogs your lungs. If you want to clean your respiratory system, you don't inhale smoke and you stay away from smoke. A lot of naive people believe it's healthy to smoke weed and sage because, instead of being educated about the dangers of smoking, they were brainwashed to hate tobacco companies.
