In this video... Navajo Historian, Wally Brown shares about how our Navajo people use sage.
There are many different varieties of sage. In this video we cover the sage that grows around Dinétah.
Basically there are two different types. What is called "Old Man Sage" and "Sagebrush" The sagebrush is what is more commonly used among our people.

There is nothing in the world that smells like the magical smell of the desert during and after a light rain. The sage opens up and fills the air. It’s a smell that never gets old.
That sounds wonderful. I have never experienced that. Sage is one of my favorite smells. I like to put some in a pot to simmer on the woodstove. Sage tea is amazing for a sore throat or headache.
hope that experience happens to me one day
Yeah. That smell mixed with the smell of the red rocks and sand, it's intoxicating and soothing, bring you right down to Earth and then transports you up, it's magical.
Truth
A lot of that smell is the creosote (or chaparral) too, which they did their last video on.
You are a living treasure elder Chief. It’s good that you are teaching the younger generations and keeping the Navaho culture alive. Thank you so much!
Yes need more of them and less of greedy doctors and big pharmaceutical companies
@@semigoth299 Yessss!!!
❤❤❤
Yes I'm young, Navajo thank you for blessings on the sage needed that learn a lot from you teaching myself from yourself Mister your a grand honors to my learning of sage also from my own self as a learner from sage and what I've delt with. Blessings to you Navajo like To say Indian that's more respect from me as a citizen in America don't like to think like it just raised different Sir, like to say I'm a teacher myself to many younger than me got to help many that need so thank you for explaining.❤
I'm happy this Chief uses a platform like YT so his wisdom is spread worldwide and available for future generations .
What an absolute privilege it is to have so much information about the old ways of life thanks to this man
Fuh real. Am not American
Wonderful Mr. Wally Brown🩵🩵🩵
Such Beautiful Knowledge❤❤
Right a true living treasure.
Totally agree. ❤ I didn't know you could make tea out of it.
I love this Gentleman, I could listen to his wisdom for days.
I hear you. Love be this.
His voice, alone, is soothing and reassuring. May Mr. Wally always be blessed! 😊
@@denisseavila9083 Absolutely, he has an engaging demeaner that sooths the soul.
I use sage essential oil in a diffuser.
When I was a truck driver, I was the first vehicle stopped by a flagman for road contruction in AZ. He came over by my cab and talked to me, and ended up pointing out all the desert plants that were nearby.
Que benção! A Sálvia chamou o conhecedor com seu aroma❤
These videos make a huge impact. Unless the sun fries, our servers and our electric grid disappear, these videos will continue to make an impact throughout time. These ancient teachings will one day be treasured, if not forgotten. Thank you all for these videos, especially the elder.
Another great lesson.
Record your elders too
Oh! What they have done to the American Indians! They never change either. They’re trying to do the same thing today, only it’s all of us. Peace to you. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love listening and learning from our elders, my husband is Chippewa, and Oneida of the Thames, part of Six Nations in Canada, Potowatomie and Chippewa from Michigan, I love sage, sweet Grass and cedar, love to you all ❤️
Also my family line!
❤ love to you & yours
Yes, sweet grass and cedar too.. magical all the beautiful gifts of divine nature.

Back to you and yours
A few decades ago I was invited to come to S. Dakota for a ceremony on Lakota territory. The sage they gathered there grew in a single stalk, about 12 inches high and straight up. It was used in sweat lodge ceremonies. When you felt your skin burning, you'd rub it on your skin and it would feel like ice!! Beautiful plant. Thank you for your words.
It makes me smile to hear you speak Navajo, Cherokee strong here,much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My parents are elderly, and I take care of them. I have been burning sage lately, to clear the air. I tell my mom I am cleaning her spirit, and it makes her mad.
Might upset most.
@@debcardy468why ?
@@michaelsnelling9875 burning plants is witchcraft. Symbolic deity cannibalisation is somehow not.😂
@@tuulenkoti Really? An Catholics burn Inscense, which is from plants, so doTibetan Monks , an they aren't Satanic!
@@michaelsnelling9875she may not like the smell, some find it hard to breath.
I love learning about traditional herbal medicines. I hate pharmaceutical companies and prefer natural treatments when i can. More please! With supply chain issues and corrupt medicine this week become important I think. At least for people like me who have lost any faith in our modern healthcare system.
I always though God provides all we need on this earth, but most people have lost the knowledge. I'd like to learn about them.
Get a good BOOK. Plant a garden with lots of different herbs & flowers, but make SURE you buy HEIRLOOM/NON-GMO seeds because they're making lots of stuff without seeds: lemons, grapes, tomatoes will be next, so we can't feed ourselves 😡Good Luck~🙏🌱🌻🌺🌾🌿💚✌
I AM HOLLISTIC, FRANCO AMERICAINE FROM SOUTH WEST FR, COSTAL WHER WE LIVE TO 105
Penso exatamente como você. Deus nos deu tudo, temos que honrar e agradecer. Agradecer a todos como esse Navajo ancião e outros que nos transmite essa sabedoria. A natureza é uma farmácia viva.
Isn't it crazy that in just a few generations, they tricked people into believing the medicine we've been using for thousands of years is "alternative" medicine?
Pharmaceuticals that have only been around about 100 years are "traditional"...
I have sage as well for burning. But to learn about these other plants is amazing!
Edit: I should point out i am a white man of the strong light. I wish these gifts of knowledge remain strong to you true natives. 💪😎
If you’re a white man, and you’re buying “sage”, you’re probably burning the plant that’s in the thumbnail of this video that comes from Europe (white-man territory) and NOT the sage that grows in the desert. If the leaves you burn are long as skinny, you are burning white-man’s sage, and you can absolutely continue to burn your sage like your ancestors did.
The traditional uses of these plants are so similar, that they just get lumped into one, but they are from completely different parts of the world. Keep burning your sage.
I love the smell of burning sage, particularly the "mugwort" or black sage... they say do a tea, but the odor of the smoke makes my senses truly fly beyond the normal existence. Something special indeed derives from special herbs and spices.
❤❤❤
There should be mention that caution should be used with mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris when prepared in a tea for women who are pregnant. Artemisia vulgaris is a blood mover and should not be used in tea form during pregnancy. 🌿
Black sage is Salvia mellifera. Mugwort isn't even in the same family of plants. Mugwort is an Artemisia.
Mugwort SHOULD NEVER BE CONSUMED BY PREGNANT WOMEN UNLESS THEY DON'T WANT TO BE PREGNANT ANYMORE! Mugwort causes the woman's uterus to contract and stimulates the body to start menstruation.
Sage also is not recommended for people who are pregnant.
Artemisiae argyi Folium, in traditional Chinese herbal medicine used to stop prolonged menstrual bleeding, cold womb & restless fetus.
@@sharonflowers2733 Mugwort ( the one I referenced) is likely unsafe when taken by mouth (tea, or in capsule) during pregnancy. Mugwort might cause the uterus to contract or stimulate a period, which can lead to a miscarriage. And actually, it was used for the termination of pregnancy when there were no options for women facing life or death if they were unable to carry the baby full term.
I dare say it would be cautionary for those who are pregnant unless specifically working with a qualified herbalist, medicine man/woman, native or one who specializes in TCM. 🌿
I'm unfamiliar with the species you are referencing.
Herbs are such a wonder. Thanks so much for sharing this wisdom.
Thank you Yah bless and protect all His children. Many tribes many languages ❤️🖐️
Found memories as a kid in Nevada smelling all the sagebrush, chasing jack rabbit’s , riding through it. And occasionally making tea.
I love the smell of desert sage
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm Dineh but was born & raised off the Rez.
These teachings were never taught to me or my brothers & sisters.
When I visit my relatives on the Rez, and ask them various questions, most of the time they cannot provide an answer, or give really vague answers or just say that's how it's always been done, they don't really know either.
So thank you again for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate your time and effort to keep tradition alive.
Always blowing sage smoke over a patient before healing sessions, it cleanses and changes a lot on many levels. Lovely movie!
i think the prayer is to structure the water inside the plant with the vibrations of the sound waves.
Occult knowledge for the win ❤
Check out the amazing H20 tests done by Masaru Emoto. Water hears everything we say! Speak kindly to it, our bodies are 70% water~
While living in Tucson AZ, I would load up the truck children in the neighborhood, ride out to Saguaro West after the RAINS🎉 what an Amazing fragrance!!!🧩
I'm from Tucson and had to move to North Carolina, although it's beautiful and we need rain to make living things (very green here) unless you've lived in the desert, one cannot understand the magic of desert rain! My heart physically hurts missing home. Not to mention AZ is the only state that doesn't do daylight savings madness , now that I have had to experience that , it's terrible to change the time (which they may try to over ride The Most High's creation but they are always fraudulently) its very bad on the body, mind and spirit. I know each place is God given , made and blessed but Arizona is very special, that's why ancient pyramids are in the grand canyon ❤ 🏜
Thank you grandfather/elder.
Please post a million times
Respect to you Wally!
I love hearing about the usage of the flora in your surroundings. Here in Switzerland many people don't know the abundance and various uses for plants around them because this wisdom was not passed down to them or they probably think it is not necessary knowledge today. But I find it gives me perspective to know I'm surrounded by such diverse, rich and useful nature. I think it's important to know and appreciate the plants and animals around us and to teach the next generation like you do.
Eu amo as.plantas. todos os países tem o conhecimento das plantas da sua região e seu uso . Com certeza centenas de pessoas das cidades do interior guardam essa sabedoria e as utilizam. Aqui, Brasil, estou buscando aprender e praticamente só as uso em minha saude. Hoje já consigo reconhecer muitas. Faço minhas próprias tinturas, pomadas e cleo, os Chás. Abraços, querida❤
My friend taught of Ancient Grandmother,,, and of The Sage... Thank You for bringing Beauty Plantea forward...
I burn sage daily to rid negative energy from our home. It’s amazing the difference in all of our demeanor. So say what you may. The native people know!! 🕊️🕊️🕯️❤️
shane, i like that we are seeing more of you lately
wally is great, and the two of you together are also great
ever-increasing numbers of us are finding, inhabiting, and building the new world
we share the work together, and all of us are learning how to step up, along the beauty way
many thanks, gentleman
your leadership and educating is precious for all
Truly
Thank you Wally.
So Wise the teachings of our Elders.
Since ancient times, in many cultures, Sage has been highly regarded for its healing benefits and used for both Oral and skin conditions.
Studies have shown it to possess many Medicinal properties..
Perfectly formulated for the Uses you have described.
Our Mother Earth provides.🌎🙏
*I grow 4 types of Sages here on MAUI for the past 7 years, the aroma smells great, the tea is smooth and for cooking, I chop this and parsley and meld it in lots of melted butter, garlic, ginger and turmeric which I add to my steak, chicken, pork or seafood!!!*
Thank you for recording and sharing this! I'm from New Mexico and have always loved learning what I can from all the natives. I know certain places do not allow any white men around, but am grateful for those who share with all of us. I have always believed we need to go back to the native ways and be one with nature, not as we are now. I've grown up using sage for clearing and protection, never knew you could make tea with it. Thank you so much ❤
Live in New Mexico here too. Have several Navajo friends. Just love ❤️ to learn more about their history, culture, language and wisdom. Thank you, Wally for sharing with us. Love sage with cooking and so does my family and friends! It’s a wonderful spice to use.
No Brasil, talvez seja outro tipo de Salvia. Se usa para temperos e para chás. Há pesquisas sobre a prevenção e tratamento de Alzheimer.
Sage is a catch-all-plant across this new culture because it is so useful. Only some of us will take note of the nuances in this message. Nevertheless, many people can appreciate this special plant-companion.
Everything has a sacred geometry it has a shape, expression and purpose Thank You so much for sharing ❤
Once you learn some basic physics theory, everything on eath is suddenly a miracle. The whole of existence is frequency. One little decimal to the left or right and nothing exists as we know it. Beautifuand awe-inspiring to think about, and I don't even like mathematics. Lol
I am a Tatar and traditionally we used to use a lot of herbs in our daily lives. The knowledge was passed generation to generation. But with the time, we ve lodt that knowledge. My grandmother taught me the herbs. Just wanted to express my gratitude for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
Sage tea I will drink
I was at the checkout at Walmart and they had some Pure Leaf teas in bottles and I picked up a Blackberry and Sage. Best tea I've ever had. It was amazing. Sage is a chelator of metals. Binds it up to be excreted or sweated out. Works great on helping eliminate Uranium. Navajo wells were contaminated by the Uranium mining.
Uranium awful.
THANK YOU For That Information And I WILL Definitely Try That. 😃
Navajo traditions are gemstones that should not be forgotten. Thank you for the knowledge oh wise one. 💜♒☮☯♾♐☸🛐♌💜
I always look forward too your hearing of traditions, I find it fascinated and very infirmative❤Thankyou I appericuate your time and kindness for sharing your wisdom and knowledge 🥰
In the U.K. sage is popular in sage and onion stuffing, usually with chicken. Best wishes from Wales.
So every time my mum burnt the Sunday roast she was actually performing a sacred smudging ceremony 😊
There are different variations of it. I don't use use the same sage in my bird stuffing to smudge my home. It's 2 different sages. There is cooking sage & smudging sages. A mystical person can also be called a Sage. I hang it on the walls of my home to keep the bugs out. I love the smell of it. My sister*in*law hates the smell of it. It makes me feel sound after sageing 🙏❤🌿
Cooking sage isn't the same thing.
Sage is also used here in the states in food
This man looks more like my beloved grandfather than anyone else I have encountered.
This information is very soothing and much appreciated.
As a lover of nature and an avid herbalist I respect Native American medicine more than our conventional medicines prescribed by doctors I trust mother nature but not much others. Thank you for your Native American expertise brother man.
✌️🖖
When my wife and I worked in the Grand Canyon, we came to admire the Navajo and Hopi traditions greatly. To this day, my wife gives our home a cleansing with sage every year.
This elder is a wealth of knowledge a true treasure
Thank you for this knowledge on Sage. Good info...
Lighting up my smudge bowl as you speak my elder! Some north dakota prairie sage mixed with cedar and a lil bit'a sweet grass ho wah! More smudging less judging ge'get!
MORE SMUDGING , LESS JUDGING ❤
🧡 LET 💛 THE💙 SMOKE 💚 RISE 💜
the sage i know from 8000' central colorado east slope is different from the two shown here
it is much smaller, a forb, not a woody plant
i gather in the spring/summer, only the ones without flowers
it is a good sage, and now i learned some additional uses
many thanks
I believe you're describing real sage (another sacred plant), Wally is holding sagebrush, in this area that is sage in common usage.
@n2197
thank you
sister plants, with similar uses and effects
I make sage tea 🍵 and I drink it. I also chew it. It is good for our teeth. Sage is good anti-inflamatory and good for women and menopause.
Thank u Sir for your wonderful knowledge...😮😮😢
How do you make it for menopause?
@@Zettielove Make tea 🍵☕ and sip it
Your wisdom and knowledge are of great worth to us all. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
Very interesting! Herbs are wonderful for so many things. Provided for us by our creator. 🙏🏻
YEA GENESIS 1:29, IT WORKS.
Great content. So much wisdom. Thank you very much for this.
I love listening to you. 🦅❤️🦅
Thank you for your Service. Thank you for sharing your ways.
I really appreciate when you share native ways of medicinal plants and encourage you to keep doing it mr Wally Beown.
I SOOOO hope the Navajo are still continuing in living their language! It's so beautiful. Lakota, too!
love the Navajo language, I used to listen to the Phoenix Sun's games on a station in Window Rock, I couldn't understand a word but I remember when KJ, Charles Barkley, A.C.Green, Dan Marley or Danny Ainge made a great play, they'd get all excited and then I would automatically get excited like I knew what they were totally saying! LOL🎉
This is very useful information! I appreciate and am grateful for Navajo Traditional Teachings... Thank you Mr. Brown AND Shane!
Must be good if the fda doesnt like it lol
Facts
Amen
😂
❤❤❤❤ Megwetch Grandfather for your Teachings, we put sage in the bowl of the Sacred Chanupa when we are not using it to keep negative energy away
Mitakuye oyasin
Great talk on the benefits of sage I had to chuckle when he said "Go chew some sage" definitely reminded me of my dad and his way of communicating the past.
I use sage on my horses to keep down the fungal and bacterial issues❤❤❤
I love sage, palo santo and frankincense. Wonderful to use these cleansing plants / resins in the home rather than chemical fragrence that brings the vibration down. I sage my house every week, set positive intentions and send unconditional love to my family and for all who come into my home. ❤
Thanks 🙏🏾 bro (cameraman) for doing a great job too...
Very excellent knowledge I’m so proud for you both keep up the great work!!
Love you guys!
Stay healthy
My mother loved purple sage!
Please document as many of the “old ways” as possible. It is wonderful to hear. Thank you!
Sage. Is a miracle worker ❤❤. 😊
I've been studying plants since I was 10 years old, this information is amazing ❤ Thank you for sharing this wisdom!
Beautiful wisdom. Thank you for sharing teaching for each day we need. Much love ...
I ❤ Sage. It grows well in south western Arizona. We have a female sage I've been nurturing for a decade or so. I grow it for saging and cooking. Thank you for my further education, I will be drinking and using sage water from now on. ❤
Thank you grandfather Wally and Shane for this great video and information.. we learn so much from you about natural herbs and their various uses in terms of your health and in terms of using them in a sweat lodge and Native American ceremonies..Thank you!
I have twisted sagebrush bark into cordage as well as used it for tinder for Firestarter. The wood is also good for hearthboards and spindles in bowdrill fire making
I enjoy sage much more now!😊
I love the rabbit brush!! First time i saw it was in SantaFe New Mexico-- full bloom that October--yellow, feathery and calming!!❤
I am sad watching the loss of these wise ones. I ask MANY more years be graced upon you . Much respect here!!
Peace and love and good health to you Willy
So many wonderfully beneficial uses for this amazing plant. Sending infinite love and warm greetings from Missouri.
Thank you for sharing. Many years ago my wife and I came across a dead whale on the Olympic Peninsula. Hours later the stench remained in our car. My wife admitted that she had kicked the whale because she wanted to find out what it felt like. Fortunately we were heading East so I was able to pick some sage to put in our car. It really helped a lot.
I grew sage on my land here in the us. Virgin Islands! I use it for cooking and for chasing wicked spirits
Thank you for this information. Plant medicine is the best I believe. I still get purple sage (old man) as you call it sent to me from NM. It is wonderful for stomach issues and for stress. Love your programs. I am a herbalist and sell tinctures, poultices, and do Reiki as well. That you for your service my brother. I was a Corpsman with the USMC for 14 years. Live and Light to you and your family!
My mum always grew herbs.Igrow herbs too and love them and try to learn about them,more and more.❤
Thank you for teaching us. I'm Russian. When I visited R. church with my blind older relative being 10y.o. at the time I've fainted because of the strong smell of burnt sage there.I remember that because I felt that I've betrayed my older blind companion and I was very sad and apologetic to her.🌺
Elder, Sir, thank you for your teachings. Your words are encouraging. Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you for sharing this information my friend, blessings to you from Nevada.
Awesome
My heavens what a God we serve. He has catered for ALL OUR Needs. Thank you brother. God bless you.
My maternal grandmother was native american and had this kind of plant knowledge among other things and I sure do with I had paid more attention and taken notes. Thankfully we have TH-cam and this Chief to teach us. Grateful.
I love your videos…sage bathing, tea and smudging are a favorite 🥰 You are such a calming teacher
Another wonderful video regarding herbs. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us. Much appreciated as always. Please continue going this path so that more people can learn the beauty and generosity of our Mother Nature. 🙇🏻🌿☀️
Mahalo for preserving and sharing the old ways. I find this Elder soothes my Soul. May he know how many have loved him.
Sage is wild plant in the Philippines. They grows alongside of the road. Women take a bath on sage water after delivering a baby. The old people steamed it in top of the fire and rubbed it to their body for healing some aches and pain. My mother used to cut them up and soaked them in the water and drink the water.
Thank you Elder for your knowledge. I noticed the medallion you wear. Thank you also for your service.
Good Evening sage I used in cooking but the sage odor is nice I can see in sweat lodge’s I have grown in in the past not sure if male or female I love that your extent of your use of your uses our creator God didn’t miss a beat ❤thank you for your teachings knowledge I appreciate it ❤
You give off such a positive vibe and peaceful aura ...I am grateful for the knowledge & wisdom you share as I am eager to learn much as I can from the good guys among us..bless you , and if the holy spirit wills it and allows me to meet you one day while on this side of life , well all I can say is that would be such an honor sir.
