Our organically produced sage essential oil also called common sage oil and Dalmatian sage oil, is distilled from fresh leaves of the perennial herb sage originating in the Mediterranean region.
This herb, also known as the garden sage, true sage, and culinary sage, was named after the Latin word "salvere", meaning "salvation," and is known for its healing properties.
Many Americans know the sage as a dried herb that is added to Thanksgiving stuffing to enhance its flavor.
It is an herb of ancient reputation, valued as a culinary and medicinal plant. Sage, which is called salvere in Latin to “save”, has a long history as a medicinal plant and as such was featured in Theophrastus. This was much in evidence in Roman times, again for medicinal purposes, but was well established mainly as a culinary herb in medieval England.
