Sage is a Mediterranean herb that has been naturalized all over the world. It has fuzzy light green leaves that make a an invigorating tea. It has been used as a toothbrush to remove plaque, kill bacteria and freshen breath. "A conserve of Rosemary and Sage, to be often used by students, especially mornings fasting, doth greatly delight the brain" -Venner. Dried Sage can be used in cooking or burned as an incense. Offered to Zeus by the ancient Greeks, Sage smoke was believed to ward off evil. The Chinese once traded four pounds of Tea for one pound of Sage. This beautiful herb looks and tastes great, and with so many uses I hope you give it a grow in your garden.
