I do this at the studio. Learned from a sweet lady long, long ago how valuable it is. It’s Science!

That 94% drop did not happen because of ceremony. It happened because of chemistry. Sage leaves are packed with volatile oils — sharp, fast-moving compounds that float into the air the moment the plant starts to burn. When those particles collide with a bacterial cell, they punch through its outer shell. Without that shell, the cell falls apart. What is wild is the staying power. In that same test, the air remained mostly cleared for a full 24 hours after the smoke settled. One hour of burning. One full day of aftermath. That is not a coincidence — it is the plant doing something it has been doing long before humans figured out it smelled good. Some of the same oils found in sage smoke also appear in pine, rosemary, and thyme. Plants did not develop these chemicals for human benefit. They made them for survival — to fight off microbes, insects, and competing plants. Humans just learned to strike a match and borrow the effect. Ancient cultures on nearly every continent used smoke from aromatic plants in spaces where people gathered, healed, or prepared food. They had no microscopes. They had pattern recognition. The ritual was always the science. It just did not have a name yet. The oldest medicine cabinet was always on fire. [Z7B79]

I love combining science and bodywork! Why this combo? I’m putting this combo to the test for my clients to see if they can FEEL the difference. Come see for yourself & lmk what it does for YOU. It’s an amazing add-on for any session.

Tennessee runs out today with Dolly on every helmet, and they are keeping her there all season.

The Vols posted the look Friday. An orange butterfly with her name, and a 9 and a 5 on the back. Coach Josh Heupel announced it Monday and called her the Queen of East Tennessee.

She earned that. Sevierville is thirty miles from campus. She gave the commencement speech in 2009, and they gave her an honorary doctorate. And in November 2023, Peyton Manning walked her onto the field at Neyland to lead Rocky Top, and her earpiece cut out because the stadium was too loud to hear over.

They are changing the fourth-quarter anthem to one of her songs too.

Happy Halloween 👻
