Most endoscopy (colonoscopy and EGD) is done with conscious sedation; generally with an amnesia drug (Versed) and some painkiller. You are actually quite awake, but the Versed blunts or eliminates your memory of the procedure. Propofol produces deeper sedation, requires an anesthesia person and usually costs more.
Sage is also used internally in the treatment of night sweats, excessive salivation (as in Parkinson's disease), profuse perspiration (as in TB), anxiety and depression. Externally, it is used to treat insect bites, skin, throat, mouth and gum infections and vaginal discharge.
Sage essential oil is purifying, clarifying, and grounding. Its lovely, herbal scent inspires a peaceful state of well-being. Diffuse it on its own, or mix it with other essential oils, such as lemon, lavender, or orange. For topical use, dilute with a carrier oil. Shop Now
