Dilution: Always dilute sage oil with a carrier oil (like coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil) before applying to the skin. A typical safe dilution is 2-3 drops of sage oil per teaspoon of carrier oil.
Massage: Apply the diluted oil mixture to areas like the temples, forehead, or back of the neck. This can help relieve tension and promote circulation, which can indirectly benefit your vision.
Safety and Precautions:
Skin Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reaction before using sage oil widely.
Consultation: Talk to a healthcare provider, especially if you have existing health conditions, are pregnant, or are currently taking medication. Essential oils can interact with various conditions and treatments.
Quality: Use high-quality, therapeutic-grade sage oil from reputable suppliers to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Other Tips to Support Eye Health:
Diet: Consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially dark leafy greens and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Hydration: Keep yourself well-hydrated to maintain the health of your eyes.
Rest: Ensure you get enough rest and avoid straining your eyes for long periods.
While sage oil may offer several health benefits, improving vision directly through its use alone is not well-documented. It’s best used as part of an overall healthy lifestyle and potentially as a complementary approach under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
