It is a staple in European cuisine, particularly with rich meats and stuffings, and its smoke is used in cleansing rituals.

Sage is a traditional herb known for its purifying and clarifying properties. In herbalism, it is used as an antiseptic and astringent, making it an excellent gargle for sore throats and gum issues. It is also known to support cognitive function and memory, and has been traditionally used to help manage symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes.

  • For a Soothing Throat Gargle: Steep the powder or leaves in hot water to create a strong tea. Once cooled, use it as a gargle to soothe a sore throat or mouth irritations.
