What is Sage ?

Sage or salvia, from the Latin word meaning “to be saved” has been used over the years due to its valuable healing volatile oils, flavonoids and phenolic acids which are readily available for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in the reduction of inflammation. Additionally,

sage contains antioxidant enzymes that combine with the flavonoids and acids, giving it a special ability to stabilize damage to cells from free radicals. Due to this unique combination, sage is a powerful herb for people with conditions caused by or worsened by inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and atherosclerosis.
