Notes & Use

Personal Use

Sagebrush Essebtial Oil is a great choice to use in respiratory blends as well as muscular blends. We have successfully used this essential oil in chest salves and balms, stock blends for diffusers, and aroma sticks (inhalers) for allergies, flu, colds, asthma, rhinitis and other respiratory concerns. We have also used Sagebrush oil up to 10% dilution in salve, balm, oil and crème preparations to help alleviate rheumatic, arthritic as well as muscular and joint pain. It is a great substitition for other camphor rish oils in all blends.

Botany

Sagebrush (Artemesia tridentata)is an evergreen bush that varies in size depending on rainfall and soil conditions. In ideal conditions the plant will reach nine to 10 feet in height, but three to four feet is more common.

The trunk of Sagebrush is thick, woody, and older plants are often covered by a grayish-brown stringy bark. The leaves are wedge shaped and typically have three blunt teeth however sometimes they have four to nine teeth and occasionally are completely lacking teeth. In the fall, the small yellow flowers form in panicles at branch ends. Sagebrush is a prolific seeder.

Found in Southern British Columbia, Alberta, South Dakota south to the Rocky Mountains, New Mexico, central Arizona and California. In fact, a dozen species of Sagebrush grow in New Mexico’s Pueblo Province.

Energetics

Energetic Properties

In our training in Energetic Medicine the first chakra has to do with survival and living on the planet in a balanced way. It is the root chakra and the chakra that connects us to Mother Earth. When we have applied one drop of sagebrush essential oil to this chakra, clients have reported an immediate sense of grounding and feeling solid and balanced in their physical body. The third chakra also known as the solar plexus chakra has to do with personal power and respecting oneself. When Sagebrush essential oil has been applied to this chakra, clients have reported a sense of surety and confidence in their point of view or decision. When using the essential oil to enhance their personal power they have felt less anxious when going into what could be a stressful situation.

Lastly, the 7^th chakra has to do with our higher information or intuition. We have successfully used Sagebrush essential oil with clients who are indecisive and have trouble trusting themselves. When clients have used sagebrush on the crown chakra, they have reported a sense of decisiveness and trust in their decisions and intuition.

We find this essential oil to enhance clarity and clear thinking. It also fosters a sense of expansiveness as well as groundedness. Expansiveness in the sense of connecting directly to ones intuitive gifts and gut feelings. Groundedness in the sense of being mindful and present in the physical body. We also find this essential oil to be extremely purifying for the auric field as well as effective in space clearing. Space clearing meaning to clear negative or interfering energies and feelings from the room. The process of using Sagebrush essential oil in a diffuser or room spray for this purpose is similar to that of smudging with various herbs in the Native American tradition.

Traditional & Folklore

This plant is multi-faceted. The whole plant is strongly antimicrobial and has been used for ages in first aid, disinfectant and cleansing wash from the prehistoric Anasazis to the present day Paiutes and Oregon farmers. Many people used the smoke of burning leaves or the steam rising from moist Sagebrush on coals to cleanse the air of pestilence and spirits of the dead (Moore, 1989).

The natives of the Southwest (U.S.) have long used Sagebrush in various preparations. How it is prepared really is what defines the usage as seen in the following examples. Inhaling Sagebrush vapor from a pot of simmering tea is beneficial for pulmonary issues as well as a sore throat. A poultice applied to the back and chest is helpful to speed up recovery from bronchitis and the flu. Steeped oil can be applied to arthritic joints, sprains and strains to reduce inflammation and pain. Because the leaves are substantially antibacterial and antifungal, the tea, poultice, powder and steeped oil are all effective for any skin or orifice infections.

As a tea, Sagebrush is an aromatic bitter. It is stimulating to hydrochloric acid, pepsinogen, and other gut secretions. This makes the tea beneficial to the body’s digestive process for some people. In addition, the cold tea is a diuretic and the hot tea is diaphoretic.

Now 1,8 Cineole

1,8-cineole, also known as eucalyptol, is both an oxide and ether. The name '1,8' refers to the fact that the oxygen atom is bonded to the first and eighth carbon atoms (Super Cool)!
1,8-cineole has a strong affinity with the respiratory system. Cineole is both an expectorant and mucolytic agent.
1,8-cineole also helps relives coughs, helps to open the bronchial tubes (bronchodilator), breaks down mucous (mucolytic). 1,8-cineole has had positive effects on lung function.
