Wild Crafted Sage Leaf Dried Cut ~ 100% Premium
Botanical Name: Salvia Officinalis
Salvia officinalis is the scientific name for common garden sage. Salvia is taken from the Greek word that means "salvation." The term officinalis comes from officina, which was the name for the chamber where medicinal herbs were kept at the monastery. Put together, the botanical name loosely translates to mean an official herb to restore health and well-being. Sage has undergone botanical name changes several times, however, although each modification also referenced its life-saving virtues. At one time, the plant was referred to as s. salvatrix, or "sage the savior."
Like powdered sage, the whole leaf is used in cooking. It’s especially good gently heated in butter to make a sauce to dress pumpkin ravioli. Whole sage leaf is also tinctured, added to tea blends and used to produce infusions to make a color-enhancing and conditioning rinse for dark colored hair.
