Santa Barbara California Sagebrush (Artemisia californica) hydrosol (herbal solution) in a beautiful 4 oz cobalt blue spray bottle. Artemisia californica is known as the “Herb of the virgin goddess.” This feathery soft silver leaved sagebrush of the Sunflower family is known for its clean refreshing scent. It has been historically used as a powerful remedy for colds, parasites, roundworms, pinworms, sore eyes, and stomachache. It is used as a bitter tonic and as a vermifuge for fleas and insects. Native Americans used Artemisia californica for ridding of worms, menstrual cramps, colds, coughs, and tuberculosis. The Spanish settlers used Sagebrush tea for bronchial problems and as a wash for wounds, sores, swellings, sore muscles, rheumatism, and bruises. Artemisia californica is used as a flower essence to cleanse and purify oneself & to release dysfunctional aspects. Hydrosol contains hydrophilic plant constituents in addition to micro droplets of hydrophobic essential oil dispersed throughout the distillate solution. Because it contains more than just the essential oil its a very different scent with a sharper greener more acrid smell than the sweeter smelling undiluted pure essential oil but also includes a broader range of medicinal plant components.

Safety & Cautions
Safety & Cautions
- Please be advised to keep essential oils out of reach of pets and children.
- Please avoid using photosensitive essential oils (Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Calm Shen Blend and any products made with these oils such as Santa Barbara Goldenbush Lotion) prior to going out in the sun or using a tanning booth as they can react to sunlight and cause something similar to a severe sunburn.
- It is advised to void continuous long term use of the same essential oils.
- Be sure to research the powerful effects of essential oils before use.
- Use diluted essential oils on the skin (Carrier oils like Jojoba are great for this in a 10% essential oil to 90% carrier base oil ratio).
- It is advised to patch test on a small portion of sensitive skin and discontinue if there is irritation or a negative reaction.
- Please know the safety data and specific warnings on an individual oil or Blend before using.
- And please use careful caution using essential oils during pregnancy. Any use should be approved by a medical provider.
- Its important to keep essential oils away from your eyes. If oil does get in your eye, do not flush it out with water. You can dilute the area immediately with vegetable or carrier oil by placing the vegetable oil on a tissue and gently wiping the eye area.
- Also essential oils are flammable so please avoid direct contact with flames such as candles.
- Please do not use essential oils internally unless properly trained and prescribed by a physician. If accidentally swallowed, call the Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) immediately and do not induce vomiting.
