Sage and your health
-
Sage is a very medicinal herb that you can let bloom at home. The name Salva (botanical name) comes from the Latin Salvere (to be healthy, to be cured or to save) meaning 'beneficial herb' and that is exactly what the herb is. In addition to the health benefits that you can read below, sage is also very good for repelling insects and eliminating animal and cooking smells. You can also rub the leaves of sage on your teeth to whiten them.

A few drops of volatile oil in salt water is a good rinse agent for (infected) wounds and ulcers. The sage tea helps against bleeding gums and sore throats. Sage is also in many herbal toothpastes. It has an expectorant for example asmta.

A tincture is much stronger than a tea or decoction and is therefore also taken in milliliters (ml) or teaspoons (tsp). In general: 20 drops = 1 ml and 5 ml = 1 teaspoon. The average dose will vary from 1 ml to 5 ml 3 times a day, depending on the herb. Therefore always check the individual herbal dosages.
