Sage (Salvia officinalis)

The history of sage dates back to ancient times, when it was used as a medicinal plant by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Sage, also known as scarlet herb, symbolized wisdom, health, and protection. From monasteries, it found its way into farmers' gardens and became part of folk medicine. This herb is highly valued for its cleansing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and sweat-reducing properties. Sage contains salicylic acid and tannins, which cleanse the pores, regulate sebum production, and clear blemished skin. Antioxidants and vitamins protect the skin cells from free radicals.
