Medical Sage

Medical sage:
What most of the sage species growing wild in Israel have in common is their distinctive scent.
Their wealth of aromas has made sages sought-after and useful fragrance and spice plants throughout the ages. Thanks to their special scent, they became sacred plants that were picked only during special ceremonies.
Even today, sage is famous in folk medicine throughout the Mediterranean countries, and it holds a place of honor among healing herbs and spices.
Sage has been used as a purifying plant for the body and the surroundings.
An infusion of medical sage leaves is good for all the ailments of the body:
it soothes stomach aches and even prevents them, heals colds, soothes pain in the heart area, eases menstrual pain, releases gas, and eases headaches and severe coughs.
Gargling with sage infusion eases sore throats and gum inflammation.
Fresh sage leaves are used for brushing teeth and massaging the gums.
It also heals external wounds: to help wounds scab over, crush dry sage leaves and sprinkle them on the wound.
To disinfect wounds or deep cuts where there is a risk of infection, chew fresh sage leaves and place the chewed paste on the wound.
Burning dry sage leaves is used for purification.
