Sage is one of the healthiest medicinal plants out there. While it’s usually classified as an herb, this is one of the most valuable herbs out there for a variety of reasons, and here, we’ll discuss the beauty of sage, and why it’s one of the best for people to have out there.

For starters, it’s an anti-inflammatory plant, and it also will reduce oxidants in the body, and it kills fungi. This is one of the healthiest plants out there since it actually will help fight free radicals and repair damaged cells.

The name actually comes from the word salvere in Latin, which means “to save.” This alone is definitely a good reason to consider this amazing plant.

This is used to preserve meat originally, but later on, it actually was used as a means to spice and flavor foods. The preservation of this is actually quite useful, and it’s still a powerful preservative, but most of the time these days, you use sage as a garnish.

But, sage is a very powerful medicinal plant. If you have issues with digestion, take some sage. It also will eliminate cramps, reduce the problems associated with diarrhea and help with any bowel issues, will help clear up your throat by drying up the phlegm, fight colds and illnesses, reduce your swelling and inflammation in various parts of the body, acts as a salve for burns and cuts, and finally will kill bacteria.
