Sage (Salvia officinalis), a name derived from the Latin salvere meaning “to be saved,” has occupied a place of honor in apothecaries and kitchens for thousands of years.
While it is commonly known as the savory backbone of holiday stuffing and aromatic roasts, this silver-leaved member of the mint family is far more than a culinary garnish.
Modern herbalism and traditional wisdom converge on one point: sage is a botanical powerhouse.
