Sage always brings back childhood memories. We used to have a huge sage bush in our vegetable garden and elderly relatives used to encourage us regularly to chew on the fresh leaves so we wouldn’t get sick and they told us  that its good for our teeth.

Sage is truly an amazing herb but its qualities are not much known nowadays. It has been grown all over Europe since the Middle Ages.

It is loved for its strong, unique flavour typical for the mint family which it is part of. Other members of this family include Oregano, Rosemary, Basil and Thyme.  This herb’s history of medicinal use goes back centuries, and sage is full of surprising benefits and nutrients you might not expect to find in your spice rack.Here is a brief list of the most important health benefits:
  • Sage is very high in vitamin K and it also contains vital minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper.
  • It contains high levels of Antioxidants as well as vitamins A, C and E (in small amounts). It has over 160 pholyphenols, another type of antioxidant made from plant matter
  • Sage has several types of acidic compounds in it that also act as antioxidants. Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, ellagic acid, and rutin have all been linked to benefits such as lower cancer risk, memory improvement, and improved brain function.
  • Studies found that drinking tea made from sage both raised antioxidant defenses and lowered LDL or “bad” cholesterol. Subjects who drank two cups of sage tea every day saw these benefits, as well as an increase in good cholesterol levels.
  • Sage has been shown to have antimicrobial effects that aid in killing plaque. One study using a sage-based mouthwash showed it successfully killed cavity-causing Streptococcus mutans bacteria.
  • Several studies showed that oils made from sage killed Candida albicans fungus and stopped it from spreading. Also fresh consumption also showed improvements of the condition.
  • The body naturally experiences a decline in estrogen levels during menopause. That decline causes side effects like hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, and irritability. Sage has been used as a traditional medicine to reduce these symptoms.
