dōTERRA Spanish Sage Essential Oil - 15ml
dōTERRA Spanish Sage Essential Oil - 15ml
Spanish Sage is a small, silvery-leaved shrub that grows wild across Spain and southern France, distinct from the culinary sage used in cooking. doTERRA steam distils the leaves and stems, and the oil carries the camphor and 1,8-cineole naturally found in the plant.
The aroma is camphoraceous, herbal and unmistakably sage-like, sharper and more pungent than a kitchen herb garden, closer to rosemary or eucalyptus than to a soft floral.
A drop worked into a carrier oil suits an after-exercise routine or the tail end of a massage, and it holds its own in a diffuser blend alongside citrus or other herb oils.
