Origin

The name Salvia officinalis, as sage is officially known, is derived from the Latin word salvere, which means to heal or save. Sage loves sunny places in the garden: as far back as the Middle Ages, sage could be found on sunny slopes in the Mediterranean Sea area. Thanks to its healing properties, it obtained a prominent place in many monastery gardens.

Healthy?

Yes, of course! The Romans and Greeks even considered sage a wonder drug for all kinds of ailments. It improves the digestion, has a calming effect and helps against coughs and colds.
