Sage Oil

Sage extract and sage oil are derived from the herb whose name means “savior.”

It was once believed that a healthy sage plant in an herbalist’s garden signified prosperity.

More practically, sage was used medicinally for a range of ailments from treating snakebites to improving memory.

Benefits of Sage

Today, the use of sage is based on modern knowledge of antioxidants. Sage extract has strong antioxidant properties that can protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.

Sage extract is also useful in relieving stomachaches and reducing fevers, and it may help to alleviate the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders as well.

Sage oil has both astringent and antiseptic properties, making it useful in treating mouth sores and ulcers. For this reason, sage extract is sometimes used in mouthwash or gargle. Some studies have also indicated that sage extract can lower blood sugar in people with diabetes.

Sage is beneficial for women in particular because of the herb’s ability to improve menopausal and premenstrual symptoms. Sage is often used to treat depression, night sweats, sleeplessness, headaches and heart palpitations associated with menopause or the menstrual cycle.

For these reasons, sage oil or sage extract is often found in women’s herbal preparations.
