An herb of ancient repute, valued as a culinary herb and medicinal plant – called herba sacra, 'sacred herb', by the Romans. It has been used for a variety of disorders including respiratory infections, menstrual difficulties and digestive complaints.

Its properties for mind include: antidepressant, calming, energizing, grounding and uplifting for mental strain and fatigue. Its active constituents include: terpenes such as camphor, labiate tannins and flavonoids. Recommended for blemished, normal-oily, oily and mature skin types, sage is especially beneficial for acne, dandruff, dermatitis, eczema, hair loss and seborrhea. Sage oil is used in some personal care preparations such as mouthwashes, toothpastes, etc. and is employed as a fragrance component in soaps, shampoos, detergents, antiperspirants, colognes and perfumes, especially men's fragrances.
