10 Recipes with Sage Essential Oil – Salvia officanalis
Sage has a beautiful soft leaf with a pungent scent
I’ve written about sage before calling it “An Essential Oil of Wisdom and Abundance”.
In my book I refer to sage oil as an oil of wisdom and courage and it appears in the chapters about SPIRITUALITY, ABUNDANCE and DHARMA. It is a very powerful oil in its energetic resonance and scent, and I must admit in my practice I don’t use it nearly as much as the other herb oils, (sorry sage). It has a cousin called clary sage which is also quite pungent and both these oils can be used for feminine issues including;
* to stop milk production in lactating women
* to help regulate periods, and even participate in some pain relief with other oils
Sage is also used in aromatherapy today
* as a diuretic
* to ease sore throats
* to ease rheumatic pain
Fresh sage
So let’s check out some recipes.
1. Open The Bottle and Take a Huge Whiff
Easy. This will open your throat, third eye and crown chakras to the intelligence of the universe.
It will help you realise, and speak the truth. Remember to be kind to yourself.
Classic oil burner with candle
2. Scent Your Space
In a traditional oil burner with a candle or a diffuser add 25 drops of oil. You will notice the difference in the scent when you use a candle vapouriser as the oils are gently warmed and infused into the atmosphere. The fire of the candle is also transformational in its sheer existence. Transform and cleanse as you scent your space.

3. Personal Aura Cleansing Mist & Room Mist
In a 50ml mist bottle filled with water add 25 drops of oil
(depending on the packaging you have, you may need to use a little alcohol -like vodka- at the bottom of your bottle first, so the oils disperse into smaller drops to prevent clogging the atomiser top. I’ve found sometimes it works just with water, and sometimes it doesn’t – very annoying!)

Sage 5 drops
Peru Balsam 10 drops
Lime 10 drops

5. Nourishing Body Oil Blend
For a coat of your body use 3 teaspoons of carrier oil in a little dish and, add 7 – 8 drops of essential oil. It’s always best to patch test first, before you apply all over.
***** Always put the drops of essential oil into the bottle or dish first, then add the carrier oil. It gives the scents time to create a synergistic fusion.
