Sage is a domestic plant that when grown at the right place flourishes. The generic name salvia derives from the Latin word salvare for healing and points to the healing powers of sage. Sage has so many healing effects that it rightly known as a universal remedy. The specialized area however is the astringent and disinfecting effect and for this reason is the preferred plant for throat aches and infections. In addition to this sage also has a antiperspirant effect.

 

 

Those who don't have much money to spend on expensive medicines can place their trust in sage as Hieronymus Bock – 1498 †1554 once did.
