Detailed description
Salvia officinalis L. is a plant of the Lamiaceae family, found in the Mediterranean basin, Southeast Asia and Central and South America. Its leaves are opposite and simple, with white hairs on the underside and greenish hairs on the upper surface.
Sage has long been traditionally used throughout the world. The polyphenolic profile of its leaves, notably in phenolic acid (including caffeic and rosmarinic acid) and flavonoids (luteolin, apigenin and quercetin), is the subject of extensive research and reviews.
Sage leaves are used for sore throats, to support the menstrual cycle and reduce hot flashes associated with menopause. They are also used for liver health, to improve appetite and digestion.
