Traditionally known as a culinary herb, Common Sage (Salvia Officinalis) is also a useful addition to the medicine cabinet. Its name, Salvia, means "to heal" in Latin. As one of the oldest medicinal herbs, it was once considered a sacred "cure-all" that the Ancient Romans used for healing everything from indigestion to insect bites. In the Middle Ages, women practicing witchcraft used sage to help with child birth, menstruation and menopausal difficulties.
Common Sage has astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties, making it a great choice for oily skin and hair problems by regulating the sebum production. It also has the power to heal sores and ulcers, all while refining skin texture.
