Apart from cognitive benefits, Spanish Sage is also an excellent stress reliever and has a calming effect on the mind and body. It can help soothe anxiety, tension, and stress and is great for easing tense and painful muscles, relieving muscular spasms, and reducing pain associated with tension headaches.
Moreover, Spanish Sage is known to relieve rheumatic pain and swelling and is an anti-spasmodic for reducing muscular spasms and cramps. It is also an excellent essential oil for sports massage, either by itself or in combination with other muscle-soothing essential oils in carrier oil. You can blend Spanish Sage with Gingergrass and your favorite carrier oil for a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, pain-relieving sports massage blend.

It is also used for various other purposes, such as hair loss, eczema, and dermatitis. The people of Spain consider it a "cure-all" for everything from colds and flu to muscle aches and pains.
