The "sacred" herb sage was once recommended as a panacea for long life. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the dried leaves of Salvia officinalis. The oil is clear to pale green in color, thinly liquid and possesses a powerful spicy aroma. The fragrance is warm, spicy and slightly camphoraceous, unmistakably sage. It naturally contains compounds such as thujone,1,8-cineol and camphor. These compounds give the oil its mental and energetic power. Sage supports clarity, stimulates concentration and helps restore inner balance. Country of origin: France Application: useful for mental exhaustion, emotional overstimulation and spiritual cleansing.
