SAGE BENEFITS



Sage has an astringent, anti-inflammatory quality that helps tone the skin. It contains rosmarinic acid, which makes it a powerful antiseptic and deodorizer. It is also a mild diuretic that aids detoxification. It has a stimulating effect on circulation and a focusing effect on the mind and emotions. Use the oil well diluted, do not consume it, and avoid during pregnancy or if you are prone to seizures.
HERB
The name is derived from the Latin word “salvare" which means "heal" or "save."
CREATE A SCENT
To make a refreshing cologne-style scent, try blending sage oil with bergamot, petitgrain, and lavender oils. It also works well with lemon and rosemary oils.

The sharp, herbal aroma of the oil has a bolstering effect for tiredness or stress.
