Stupid mistake- burnt sage and didn’t realise it’s dangerous

Normal sage should be fine, usually when used in incense it's normal sage or white sage. Clary sage is the one that has that effect.

Sage in pregnancy is more about drinking and oils. Its to do with a chemical compound in the sage that can cause complications.

Burning sage is generally considered safe as your not ingesting the plants and its oils, however, it's more the smoke inhalation. Ask them to ventilate the house x

Thank you so much I’m sat out working in the garden on my laptop almost crying now because I’m so scared, I’ve been outside for nearly 10 mins luckily it’s not raining rn so I will just stay out longer but I feel so stupid!!!! Why didn’t I google it first honestly

Chat gpt to the rescue

Wow, I didn’t even know that about sage. I use it in my cooking

Also apparently we should be burning candles or have oil diffusers?

There are so many things we can and can’t use 😦

I just want to say, I get it completely, I get anxious at anything which may affect my pregnancy. I found out I’d accidentally eaten non red lion poached eggs recently ! Also - my thinking is, there are probably LOADS of things around us which were not meant to be exposed to, technically but all is fine. E.g. chemicals in perfumes etc. xxxx
