About the Product
There is an old proverb, «He who has sage in his garden has no need of a doctor. » such was the great medicinal repute in which sage was held. Originally from the mediterranean, this wonderfully fragrant plant is now cultivated all over the world. Besides its use in cooking and as a digestif, sage is most commonly used medicinally to reduce excessive perspiration, and the various discomforts of periods, particularly for pre-menopausal women.
In Chinese medicine, sage is used for menstrual pain, abdominal pain, insomnia, hepatitis and hives.
Sage is a profoundly calming herb that has been used successfully in cases of depression or mental lethargy. It can elevate and sharpen the mind, improving energy levels and concentration.
