Scientific Name: Salvia Officinalis
Family Lamiaceae

The Latin name for sage is “Salvia”, which derives from the word “salvare”, meaning “to save”. This alone alludes to Sage Tea benefits. When brewed, Sage Leaf Tea is easily recognized by its bold, herbaceous aroma and smooth mellowness.

Also known as the "thinker's tea" because of its ability to help enhance mental clarity and concentration, sage tea is an herbal infusion made from the fresh or dried gray-green leaves of the sage herb.

In the first century C.E. Greek physician Dioscorides reported that the aqueous decoction of sage stopped bleeding of wounds and cleaned ulcers and sores. He also recommended sage juice in warm water for hoarseness and coughs. It was used by herbalists externally to treat sprains, swelling, ulcers, and bleeding.
