Healing With Sage Oil




Refreshing and cleansing, Sage is associated with wisdom and healing. Its aroma has warm undertones and traces of Camphor. originating from Asia and the Mediterranean, its main use is a culinary herb.

The essential oil, distilled from the leaves, is potent and should be used sparingly and with caution.

Sage is a powerful stimulant and in small doses, makes an effective antidepressant to strengthen and calm nerves. It restores vitality after emotional "burn-out" and relieves nervous debility.

It is a tonic to the digestive system, particularly the liver and kidneys. It relieves chronic or persistent respiratory infections and imitates estrogen, which regulates your periods. As a beauty oil, Sage reduces sweat and fights dandruff.
