OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Our Sage Essential Oil, derived through organic processes, is also referred to as Common Sage Oil and Dalmatian Sage Oil. It undergoes steam distillation from the freshly harvested leaves of the Salvia officinalis perennial herb, indigenous to the Mediterranean region. Additionally recognized as Garden Sage, True Sage, and Culinary Sage, this herb derives its name from the Latin term ‘salvere,’ signifying salvation. Renowned for its therapeutic attributes, it stands as a testament to nature’s healing prowess.

While Common Sage is widely recognized by many Americans for imparting its distinct flavor to Thanksgiving stuffing when used in its dried form, it holds a rich heritage dating back to ancient times, esteemed for its dual roles as both a culinary delight and a medicinal marvel. Derived from the Latin word ‘salvere,’ meaning to save or heal, Sage boasts a storied medicinal past, documented as early as in the works of Theophrastus. Its prominence persisted through Roman times, primarily for medicinal applications, yet flourished as a culinary staple during medieval England.
