The aim of the investigations was to determine the contents and composition of (OE) essential oil found in leaves of sage and in galenic preparations: Tinctura Salviae and Extractum Salviae 50. The studies were conducted using GC/MS. The findings showed that the main components of OE existing in Oleum Salviae, Tinctura Salviae, as well as in Extractum Salviae 50 are: alpha- and beta-thujone (36-41), camphor (17-32), 1.8-cineole (10-14), viridiflorol (5-8) and borneol (3-7). The content of these components in Oleum Salviae and Tinctura Salviae is essentially the same, but in Extractum Salviae 50 is markedly different. This difference concerns above all a twice larger content of camphor and borneol in the oil fraction which exists in Extractum Salviae 50. This content can recult from sufficient solubility of monoterpenes in water-alcohol systems, which is connected with the presence of solubilizers which are triterpenes existing in sage leaves, as well as in the galenic investigated preparations
