Sage


Sage (Salvia Officinalis) is a perennial, bushy plant commonly found in dry and rocky areas of the Greek countryside.

Sage essential oil is extracted from the herb and its flowers through distillation and has a sweet, herbaceous aroma that refreshes both body and mind.

Sage essential oil is valued for its therapeutic properties and is used in various applications due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and calming characteristics. Some of its main uses include:

Relief from Anxiety and Stress

Sage essential oil has a soothing effect and is used for relieving anxiety, worry, and tension.

  • Add a few drops to an essential oil diffuser or inhale to calm and uplift mood.
  • 2-3 drops in massage oil or body lotion can help relieve muscle pain, lower back pain, and neck stiffness.

Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Action

It is used to reduce inflammation and pain, especially in cases of muscle pain or arthritis.

  • It can be applied topically, always diluted in a carrier oil, to relieve pain and swelling.

Digestive System Relief

Sage essential oil can help alleviate digestive issues, such as indigestion and bloating. It has a toning effect on the digestive system and can be used in inhalations or added to warm water for relief from bloating.

Respiratory System Support

It is used to relieve symptoms of respiratory infections, such as colds and coughs.

  • Inhalation or steam with sage essential oil can help decongest the airways and fight respiratory infections.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Action

Sage has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it useful when diluted in a carrier oil for combating skin or nail infections. It can also be used to disinfect spaces (e.g., as steam in rooms).

Memory and Concentration Enhancement

Sage essential oil is believed to have a positive effect on concentration and mental clarity. It can be used to improve performance and attention for tasks that require mental alertness.

Sage essential oil blends excellently with bergamot, geranium, origanum, lavender, pine, frankincense, sandalwood, jasmine, and lemon, creating unique aromatic synergies.
