Botanical aspects:cls., fam., botany(description)
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is an evergreen bush that varies in size depending on rainfall and soil conditions. Under 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 covered by a grayish-brown stringybark. The leaves are wedge-shaped and typically have three blunt teeth however, sometimes they have four to nine teeth and occasionally wholly lack teeth. Found in Nevada, Utah, Southern British Columbia, Alberta, South Dakota south to the Rocky Mountains, New Mexico, central Arizona, and California. The whole plant is strongly antimicrobial and has been used for ages in first aid, as a disinfectant, and for cleaning and washing 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 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. We can apply steeped oil for 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. The tea is beneficial for the body’s digestive process for some people. In addition, cold tea is diuretic, and hot tea is diaphoretic.

Safety considerations: the amount of camphor found in Sagebrush is about the same amount of camphor as the rosemary camphor chemotype, with no contraindications in Essential Oil Safety. However, it is worth taking note that camphor is known to cross the skin, mucous membranes, and the placenta barrier. Camphor is slightly neurotoxic and needs to be used with precautions. We recommend it only for smelling in inhalers or steamers. Dilute before use. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended before use. For people with allergic tendency systematically perform an allergy test before use. Never apply essential oils directly on mucous membranes, nose, eyes, and auditory canal. Contact with eyes should be avoided. For external use, only! Do not use essential oils in intravenous or intramuscular injections. The use of essential oils is not recommended with children, pregnant or lactating women, elderly persons, or persons who are suffering from chronic diseases Never heat an essential oil for diffusion.
Metaphysics: Sagebrush increases mental clarity, intuition. “You smell it, and you feel yourself getting lighter and rising above your physical body. It helps us get an eagle’s view of our life, a new larger perspective”. This can be helpful when you feel stuck in the daily grind, finding it difficult to see further than the end of your nose. Also, the oil is very effective in cleaning and clearing the negative energy from a space, a room, or an auric field.
