Susan –
I found that I was selecting Sage oil for my burner on the days when I needed to get things done or to work things out. Sage is called sage for a reason and now that I’m in my “crone” years I can understand why. Then I found out about its potential for microbial action (possibly anti-fungal, anti bacterial and anti-inflamitory action) and smiled as I had been using it on cleaning days. Sage helps clear my head and I love it!
