Nature's Smart Healer: Sage
Dear Readers
Nature sometimes hides its healing power in the most quiet and unassuming plants. Sage is one of these silent healers. Used for centuries both in the prevention and treatment of diseases, sage nourishes not only the body but also the soul with its aromatic leaves.
Sage has strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties thanks to its rosmarinic acid, tujon, cineol and various phenolic compounds. These substances provide protection against infections while supporting the immune system.
The relaxing effect of sage is known in respiratory diseases. In cases such as cough, sore throat and bronchitis, sage tea or steam facilitates breathing by removing mucus. It is also a natural support for indigestion, bloating and stomach ailments with its positive effects on the digestive system.
The aromatic structure of sage is also associated with stress-reducing and mind-opening effects. It has been used for meditation and relaxation since ancient times. Today, scientific studies support the positive effects of sage on memory and cognitive functions.
However, caution should also be exercised with excessive consumption of sage. Long-term and excessive use, especially due to the high doses of tujone, can lead to some side effects.
This valuable plant of nature grows with patience, is collected with labor and prepared with care. Knowing its value is a reflection of the respect we show to our health.
