Sage

Sage, a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region, has been valued for centuries for its aromatic qualities, medicinal properties, and symbolic significance.

In perfumery, it possesses a strong, herbaceous aroma with hints of camphor and earthiness. Sage oil or extracts derived from sage leaves are used to add depth and complexity to fragrances. Its fresh, green scent can be utilized as a middle or base note in perfumes, contributing to herbal or aromatic accords. Sage’s aromatic profile lends a sense of vitality and naturalness to fragrances, making it a popular choice for both men’s and unisex scents.

In aromatherapy, essential oil is renowned for its therapeutic properties. It is believed to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Sage oil is often used to promote mental clarity, improve concentration, and alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety. It may also be used in massage oils or diffusers to purify the air and create a sense of grounding and balance. However, sage essential oil should be used with caution and diluted properly, as it can be potent and may cause skin irritation in some individuals.

Since ancient times, sage has been used to protect from and ward off evil spirits. The energy of the burning plant helps to develop the personality’s consistence and perseverance, the ability to distinguish lies and fight them easily. It protects the aura from aggression, helps to quickly find a proper way from any difficult situation, and helps to avoid self-projected destructive irritation. In magic and spiritual practices, sage is commonly associated with wisdom, protection, and purification. Burning dried sage leaves, known as smudging, is a ritual practiced in various cultures to cleanse spaces of negative energies or spirits.
