What is Sage Essential Oil?

Salvia Sclarea, also known as Sage, is a small shrub plant with green stems and purple flowers. This multifunctional herb originally comes from the Balkans and you might know it especially for its role as a flavor enhancer in the kitchen. People also cleanse their homes with white Sage by burning it and believe this drives away negative energy.

'Salvia' comes from the Latin word 'to save' which is a clear hint to the powers of Sage... you'll read more about this later!

Both the Greeks and Romans believed that Sage encouraged a long life and the Egyptians used it to promote fertility.

Later it was processed into oil through steam distillation. Both the stems and the beautiful purple flowers are used for this. The result is a colorless to yellow oil. By evaporating this oil with for example a diffuser or a warm bath, Sage does its work as 'savior'. It's a booster for the immune system, provides relief for respiratory distress, but also calms at the same time. It's packed with antioxidants, making it work as a natural anti-aging agent and promotes metabolism.
