The health benefits of sage essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, collagen-forming and choleretic, healing, depurative, digestive, disinfectant, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, laxative, and a stimulating substance.

The presence of camphor and camphene in this essential oil gives it an antifungal property. This oil is able to inhibit fungal infections, both internally and externally, and alleviates fungal infections such as dysentery, skin diseases, athlete's foot or dermatitis. This property is one of the reasons behind its use in skin care products.

Sage essential oil aids digestion, calms the stomach and improves the functionality of the entire digestive system against inflammation caused by excess acids. It also neutralizes acids in the stomach and bloodstream, providing relief from heartburn and acidosis, which in turn protects us from peptic ulcers due to acidity, as well as boils, rashes and skin diseases that occur when acid levels rise in the blood.
