Botanical name: Salvia Officinalis. Salvia or sage grows in the Mediterranean. It has a strong aromatic aroma and is cultivated for its medicinal properties, as a herbal tea and as a spice. Its name comes from the Latin "salvere" which means "I'm healthy". Sage is harvested shortly before or at the beginning of flowering in dry and sunny weather and dried in a shady place, so as to maintain the color of the plant and the quality of the essential oil.
The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation. Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents. Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.
Sage oil is a natural antioxidant, which quenches free radicals produced in humans by various mechanisms that are responsible for participating in many chronic diseases. The metabolites contained in sage such as camphor, borneol, β-pinene and compounds such as α-terpineol contribute to the antimicrobial, antiviral and antioxidant properties of the herb. At the same time, it activates the metabolism, has a fat-dissolving effect and fights cellulite. Helps with indigestion due to the characteristic substance, α and β thujone, contained in its essential oil. Due to its hormonal regulatory effects, thujone is very effective in menstrual problems. Beware of overdose because high thujone levels can cause seizures.
