Sage belongs to the Salvia plant family – derived from the Latin word salvere which means, “to heal.” To heal, indeed.
Sage (Salvia officinalis and Salvia lavandulaefolia) is a delicious cooking and culinary herb. But it has also been used for thousands of years for a variety of ailments.
This beautiful plant with its blue flowers grows wild in many continents. This includes North America. But it is native to the Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region.
