INFORMATION:
Sage leaves, Salvia officinalis, is a member of the mint family. Since ancient times, the herb has been used to ward off evil and cleanse spaces and people. The leaves have been used throughout history for its cleansing and purifying purposes.
Sage also has a long-standing history as a wellness herb. In ancient Egypt, it was used to treat fertility issues and epidemics like the plague. Across the Mediterranean in ancient Rome, it was used to treat a list of ailments including digestive issues, sore throats and memory problems. Rome is also where the herb gets its Western name Sage, which comes from the Latin salvia meaning 'to feel healthy'.
Speaking of feeling healthy, more recent studies show that tea made from sage is particularly high in rosmarinic acid, an antioxidant thought to decrease bodily inflammation and regulate blood sugar. The herb is also a source of camphor and carnosol, two compounds thought to prevent skin damage, kill harmful bacteria, and speed the healing of wounds. In some circles, sage tea is sipped to sooth a sore throat.
