Sage

Salvia officinalis

In common with all culinary herbs, sage has anti-microbial properties; the tea or tincture is great as a gargle for a sore throat.

Sage is a friend to menopausal women bringing relief to night sweats and hot flushes; and clarity to foggy thinking . However sage is to be avoided by women who are breast feeding as it may sometimes slow or stop the flow of breast milk.
