Synopsis

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is an aromatic herb traditionally used in European, Mediterranean, and Native American medicine for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive-supportive properties. Rich in volatile oils (like thujone and cineole), flavonoids, and rosmarinic acid, sage is used to soothe sore throats, regulate sweating, balance hormones, and enhance memory. It is particularly valued for supporting menopausal health, oral health, and nervous system function.
