Be careful though:
Do not consume sage long-term without your doctor’s advice. Herbal medicine requires some cautionary advice.
For external use, sage is antiseptic et antiphlogistic (acts against inflammation). So prepare an infusion of sage that you will then pour into a vaporizer. Add one or two drops of an essential oil of your choice (cypress, tea tree or even cistus for example). Shake before use and keep for a few days only in the refrigerator.
Tea tree is an essential oil whose reputation is well established. It is found in a very large number of personal hygiene products (soap, shampoo, bath oil) and cosmetics.

Other plants for a natural deodorant
The rosemary can also be a good natural alternative to classic deodorants. Same process as with sage: make an infusion of rosemary, add one or two drops of essential oil of your choice, then pour into a vaporizer and keep in the refrigerator for a few days.
Another natural solution: dust your armpits with powder.White clay and baking soda.
The downside of these natural powders, although effective, is the white rings that you risk seeing appear on your clothes. These solutions are therefore to be favored if you wear sleeveless tops in particular.
