SAGE (Salvia officinalis) HYDROSOL

A Symbol of Health and Longevity

Let's Get to Know Sage

Sage, also known as holy sage or European tea, is the largest genus of aromatic herbs in the Lamiaceae family.

Its white, felted leaves shimmer like silver and emit a bitter, fragrant scent.

Since sage is one of the oldest and most important medicinal herbs, all ancient medical writers mentioned it in their writings.

In ancient times, it was used to treat almost all diseases: lowering body temperature, relieving headaches, treating sore throats, mouth and respiratory tract pain, and relieving urinary tract and bladder infections. It was also used to treat inflammations of the intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder and urinary tract, and many other diseases.

To understand the importance of sage during that period, we need to know that it was one of the few herbs that could successfully replace antibiotics. Until the discovery of penicillin in 1928, the use of sage as a medicine meant the difference between life and death.

The range of effects of sage is much broader than simply being a good natural antibiotic. Therefore, it is not surprising that ancient cultures valued sage as a sacred herb. Even in the Middle Ages, the benefits of sage were used to prolong life, ward off evil spirits, for use in ceremonies, and as a symbol of fertility, health, and longevity.
