Sage Essential Oil
Sage Essential Oil is steam distilled from the Salvia Officinalis herb leaves, also known as Common Sage, True Sage, Garden Sage, and Dalmatian Sage.
In the middle Ages, for its numerous treasured products, Sage earned the nickname "Sage the Savior." The Lakota Indians nicknamed it "master herb" for its cleaning and nerve tonic properties. The word Sage comes from the Latin "salvere," meaning "to save," as its properties have been considered traditionally as "secure" the physical fitness of the consumer.
