Pure Essential oil
sage
Botanical Name: Salvia lavandifolia
Method of Extraction: Steam
Sage is steam distilled from the flowers and leaves of the herb. This herb
is primarily from the Mediterranean and China.
Sage is known to be a stimulant of the adrenal cortex, as well as the
central nervous system, and has been used to try and stimulate the
metabolism as well. In skincare, sage can be useful in healing acne and
dermatitis and it may also be helpful for dandruff and hair loss. Sage is a
nervous system and metabolism stimulant. It may also help to restore scanty
or missed periods (emmenagogue).
This oil can be abortive and toxic in higher doses. USE WITH CAUTION. Due
to its stimulating benefits, those with high blood pressure, those with
epilepsy or pregnant women should not use this oil.
