Tips For Using Sage

Health Benefits

Sage is said to promote longevity, to quicken the senses and memory, and to strengthen the nerves.
Sage tea is recommended for pulmonary consumption and for excessive perspiration of the feet. A teaspoon of dried sage, or rather more if the fresh leaves be used, is steeped in half a pint of water for twenty-four hours. A cup is to be taken night and morning.
Sage, like so many of the fragrant herbs, is antiseptic1.
