Sage, a perennial plant native to Europe and the Mediterranean region, is prized as a culinary spice around the world because of its distinctive flavour. It is widely cultivated as well. The sterns of this plant are square and delicately hairy, and the root system is highly branching. Leaf shape and woody base give this plant its name. The leaves of this plant's flowers are narrow and lanceolate. The flowers of sage are small, two-lipped, and arranged in whorls in the leaves. Blue, purple, and white blossoms are just some of the many colours that can be found in the blossoms' petals.
This versatile herb can be used to treat a wide range of ailments, from mild to extremely severe. Some fresh sage leaves can be crushed or eaten to alleviate the itchiness caused by insect bites, for example. Sage leaves can be used to make a good poultice, albeit one that is a little rough and moist when combined with a small amount of saliva. The bandage can then be secured to the wound with adhesive tape.
Sage is your best bet if you have a sore throat, tonsillitis, voice loss, or mucus buildup that causes congested lungs. Sage Savory tea, such as sage, can be helpful in these situations. In order to brew the tea, follow these instructions: 30 minutes steeping in 1-1/4 cups boiling water with 2 teaspoons dried or fresh sage leaves. Take a sip every few hours until you feel well enough to continue, then strain and add honey if desired. Before you drink the water, squeeze in a quarter teaspoon of fresh lime juice. Sore and infected throats are well served by this.
