In addition to its other benefits, sage can play a protective role in our digestive health. A study in 2011 found that sage promotes the discharge of bile in the digestive system. This allows it to soothe the stomach and digestive tract and prevent harm caused by excess acid, improving the functionality of the digestive system. The oil’s anti-inflammatory benefits also extend to our digestive health. A study in 2001 found that the oil can help cure inflammation in the stomach and digestive tract, reducing discomfort and gastric distress.
