Did you know you can make a medicinal poultice by crushing fresh sage leaves and applying them directly to minor cuts, scrapes, or insect bites? Sage has natural antiseptic properties that can help promote healing and reduce inflammation.

To create a sage poultice, gather fresh sage leaves from your garden. Next, thoroughly wash the leaves to remove any dirt or debris. Once clean, gently crush the leaves to release their natural oils. Apply the crushed sage leaves directly to the affected area, whether it's a minor cut, scrape, or insect bite. Secure the poultice in place with a clean bandage or cloth, allowing the sage's antiseptic properties to work their magic. Leave the poultice on for at least 15-20 minutes, allowing the sage to soothe the skin and promote healing. Afterward, gently remove the poultice and rinse the area with lukewarm water. Repeat this process as needed to support healing and reduce inflammation, harnessing the power of sage as a natural remedy in your holistic wellness routine.

Remember, while sage can offer relief for minor cuts, scrapes, and insect bites, seeking medical care for any non-minor medical concerns is essential. If you have any doubts about the severity of your condition or if it requires professional attention, don't hesitate to consult a healthcare provider.

Our Story

Rasa Spa has 5 unique locations in the Finger Lakes Region. Visit us at our Flagship location in downtown Ithaca, on Main St in Watkins Glen, Community Corners in Northeast Ithaca, at the Cayuga Medical Center and The Loft at the Inns of Aurora. In each site, we create space for health & wellness through a wide range of natural, healing therapies and treatments.

Our flagship location in the Cayuga Wellness Center on Taughanock Blvd in Ithaca is a full day spa, with saunas and showers, a tranquility room overlooking the inlet, a meditation alcove, and Community Space classroom. We encourage you to come early and stay late to take advantage of all that our main location has to offer. Our full menu of services is available here.

Rasa at Watkins Glen does not have changing rooms, but you are welcome to come early and/or stay late to sip a cup of tea or practice some yoga or meditation in a large and lovely tranquility room. Please note that our Watkins Glen location is a second story walkup and not handicap accessible (all other Rasa locations are handicap accessible). Rasa at Watkins Glen is now bookable for massage, hot stone massage, the Ananda, wholeness healing, facials, and waxing.

Rasa at Community Corners might be for you if Northeast Ithaca is a more convenient location for you to pop in for a massage. With two treatment rooms in Island Health & Fitness, this location is for the client who isn’t necessarily interested in lingering in a tranquility room, though Rasa at Community Corners clients do have access to the IHF changing rooms when coming in for an appointment. (Psst… did you know? IHF at Community Corners has very large saunas!)
