I can't find much safety data on it .. its been tested at low doses as

non-toxic .. and from a bit of the info in Plant Aromatics .. an 8%

dilution on humans with no sign of sensitization or irritation. This

does not mean every human being will get the same results.

 

You will see from place to place comments that it should be avoided in

pregnancy .. bovine excrement that is .. as are similar statements on

most all the essential oils. I sent a post on that a few days ago.

 

A Species related to Salvia lavendulafolia is Salvia fruticosa (syn.

triloba) Greek or Turkish Sage. For those who fear bugger bears when

they hear of thujone, the Greek/Turkish Sage has the lowest percentage

of any of the Sages .. even 2% or less. Has it been tested by the folks

in power today? Not that I know of .. but its the ORIGINAL Sage used in

the Near East and it has been tested by Greeks and Turks for hundreds

and hundreds of years .. ceptin their eyes were open so they was not

double blind tests. ;-)
