Sage really boasts many health benefits. Practically everyone knows how to gargle sage in inflammatory processes in the oral cavity and throat. It acts as a stimulant, mild laxative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and also promotes appetite.
Sage is a versatile medicinal and spice plant. Sage tea cures inflammation of the gums, oral cavity, and throat, soothes, limits sweating, and has a beneficial effect on the stomach and intestines. The essential oil disinfects and relieves cramps, tannin increases the anti-diarrheal effect.
Sage has a burning taste, and in the West, it is mainly used as a spice, for example in the preparation of stuffed poultry and various sauces. The Germans use it to season sausages. Otherwise, sage can also be used as a side dish from wild or brown rice, barley, and lentils, and it is also a great way to liven up sauces and minestrone.

I am going to start both a medicinal garden and herb garden for cooking. I just have to find the time to do it!! I’ve been collecting seed from gardening friends.
That’s a great idea. I have a lot of herbs and medicinal plants in my garden.
What do you find that you use the most of?
I use mostly lemon balm, sage, thyme and parsley.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
My sister grew sage in her garden.
I also have sage planted in the garden.
I also have sage in the garden I just don’t know how to use it, dear Vidocka ….. now I’ve learned a lot of new things …. I only know sage tea
I’m glad you learned something new. You can also use it for juice.
I can’t imagine exactly what it tastes like ….. I certainly won’t make the juice ….
I’ll be trying to make juice.
Then you will invite me for a juice one day to try it
i am going to guess it is Green!!!!
sage is a wonderful spice for poultry. It is also great when in a song (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme by Simon and Garfunkel)!
Your answer is correct. 😃
The plant is really very useful. I also use it to control garden pests.
see how good I am at guessing when you start with the actual colo 🙂
I have seen these many times, i didn’t know they were good and keeping pests away.
It doesn’t matter how long you guess. I am glad that you are trying to do with guessing. 😊
i like to be silly at times, it is so much lighter than the world we live in right now!
I know this plant. In our country it grows as a wild plant but also as an ornamental plant.
We have this plant planted in gardens. I have never seen it as a wild plant.
I have heard about this plant and its goodness but have not seen one.
It is a very useful plant. Too bad you don’t have it.
That is good to know. I just also notice that they have sage tea.
You are right. I often drink sage tea.
I have only used dried sage but didn’t know the health benefits of the plant, Thank you for the information,
I also use mostly dried sage. I also make syrup occasionally.
