Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I am researching this essential oil and am wondering about the properties and applications and safety of this type of sage. Any information, experience and advice appreciated. Cheers Siann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Siann, Salvia fruticosa is considerably lower in thujones than the other varieties of salvia essential oil, so therefore it doesn't have the need for all the warnings associated with the high thujone level salvia oils. Here is a snippet about that from a phytochemical analysis article: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/medplant/about_mprc/My%20Webs/Sage/S.officinal_comm on/S_parameter_officinalis.htm " ... the relative contents of alpha-thujone, beta-thujone and camphor have to be totaled in order to form a significant parameter for the characterization of Salvia species. This parameter varies between 45 and 68% in S. officinalis and between 4.8 and 15.9% in S. fruticosa with a small standard deviation... " I find it useful in blends during the cold season to help the respiratory system. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com inchante [inchante] I am researching this essential oil and am wondering about the properties and applications and safety of this type of sage.
