Sage essential oil is known for its health benefits due to its antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, cholagogic and choleretic, cicatrizant, depurative, digestive, disinfectant, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, laxative, and stimulating properties.
The essential oil contains camphor and camphene, which give it antifungal capabilities. This oil can prevent fungal infections both internally and externally, providing relief from conditions like dysentery, skin diseases, Athlete’s Foot or dermatitis. This property largely contributes to its usage in skincare products.
Sage Essential Oil is beneficial for digestion, pacifying the stomach, and enhancing the overall functionality of the digestive system against inflammation caused by excess acids. It also balances acids in the stomach and bloodstream, offering relief from acidity and acidosis. This in turn safeguards us from peptic ulcers due to acidity, as well as from boils, eruptions, and skin diseases caused by increased acid levels in the blood.
