Sage (Salvia officinalis)
✔️ Cognitive function & memory – Acts as a nootropic (enhances cognitive function), a neuroprotective (protects brain cells), and a circulatory stimulant, traditionally used to improve focus, memory, and long-term brain health.
✔️ Digestive health – Functions as a carminative (reduces bloating and gas), a cholagogue (stimulates bile production), and a gut antimicrobial, supporting healthy digestion and microbial balance.
✔️ Hormonal & menopausal support – Works as a hormonal balancer, an antihidrotic (reduces excessive sweating), and a cooling herb, traditionally used to ease hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal imbalances.
✔️ Immune system support – Contains potent antimicrobial compounds, including thujone and rosmarinic acid, making it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi while supporting overall immune resilience.
✔️ Respiratory & throat health – Acts as an expectorant (loosens mucus), an antiseptic (kills pathogens), and an anti-inflammatory, making it useful for colds, sore throats, and respiratory congestion. Often used in herbal steams and gargles.
✔️ Oral & gum health – Works as an astringent (tones and tightens tissues), an antibacterial, and a mouth freshener, traditionally used in mouth rinses to support gum health and prevent oral infections.
