We are very pleased to offer this organic Sage, without doubt one of the best we have ever sourced. The quality of this remarkable Sage essential oil is revealed in the exact expression of its predominant chemotype characteristics and properties, and even more so, in the quality of its aroma. It is sparkling, crystalline and jewel-like in its ethereal clarity, affirming the presence of the plant’s most precious components – even the most volatile molecules – captured in liquid form.
Our organic Salvia officinalis has a high thujone content1 and, according to Kurt Schnaubelt, "should be used intelligently and in low concentrations by informed individuals." Thujone, a monoterpene ketone, can be highly neuro- and hepato-toxic when improperly used. Camphor (a ketone also known as borneone) and eucalyptol (aka cineole) are also present in substantial percentages. As a dried herb, the smoke of White Sage (Salvia apiana) is traditionally used in Native American culture for ceremonial cleansing; in a similar fashion, essential oil of Salvia officinalis can be diffused to cleanse room environments. For body workers, a drop rubbed between the hands quickly disinfects and clears energy between clients.
