SAGE
salvia officinalis {10ml}
Product Summary
Sage essential oil is capable of inhibiting fungal infections (including candida) and can provide relief from infections like dysentery, thrush, athlete’s foot, dermatitis, etc. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it useful on the skin as an anti-aging, anti-scarring, and anti-spot product. It is a cholagogue, meaning it promotes the discharge of bile, which can aid digestion, soothe the stomach, and reduce inflammation caused by excessive acid.*
Sage improves blood circulation. It may help those with chronically low blood pressure, but is not recommended for use with high blood pressure. In cases of varicose veins, it can be blended with Cypress and Rosemary ct. Verbenone to improve circulation.*
Sage mimics the hormone estrogen, which encourages clean menstruation and can provide rapid and welcome relief from conditions like hormonal headache, cramps, nausea, weakness, depression, etc. during periods. It can quickly become abortifacient, so is not recommended for pregnant women. Its qualities also suppress lactation, and can be a help to stop milk from coming in if necessary.*
Blended with Niaouli, Ravintsara, and carrier oil, Sage is known to fight genital herpes. Since it is a nerve stimulant, those with a history of epilepsy or high blood pressure should avoid using Sage. Further, because it contains camphor and camphene, it should only be used in small amounts and should never be used on children*
