Aromatherapy Share: Essence of the Week - Greek Sage...

Greek Sage is an East Mediterranean shrub from Greece that has been used in the culinary arts for centuries. In North Africa, they use her for pain and the common cold/cough. One teaspoon of Greek Sage is high in Vitamin A, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Vitamin B, Thiamin, and Riboflavin - with 43% of the daily intake of Vitamin K. In Turkey, they juice Greek Sage to help a weak appetite and to help clear kidney and gallbladder stones. The Chinese drank her in a tea, and the Romans viewed her as a sacred herb.

Greek Sage is an anti-inflammatory that helps with spasms and neutralizing nervous tension. She addresses ear-nose-throat issues, like a cough, excess mucus, sore throat, and bronchitis. Greek Sage helps digestion, the teeth, and the retention of water as a natural diuretic. When we experience disharmonies with fertility or in harmonizing the moon cycle, she is a wonderful ally.

Energetically, Greek Sage is great for depression, negativity, a bad mood, and anxiety. She clears darkness, shifts the energy, and holds space for the release of lower frequencies. Once the pain has been cleared, we are able to enjoy life and get creative once again. This plant medicine is a gentle guide toward wise decisions and the shift from a lower frequency to a higher one.

Anoint 5-10 drops of Greek Sage over the areas of concern, pouring her directly onto the skin "neat" for best results. Continue this protocol for 120 days to see the best results. Journal your experience in order to understand how this amazing and healing plant medicine has helped you and your challenges.
