Sage (Salvia the medicinal Greek Ellefasakos the medicinal, Salvia officinalis) belongs to the genus of Angiospermous dicotyledonous plants Elevlifakos (Salvia). In English its common name is sage, or garden sage, or common sage.

The plant has a strong aromatic odor and is cultivated for its medicinal properties, as a decoction and as a spice.

The leaves have antiseptic, expectorant and antispasmodic properties. The plant has stomach, tonic and cardiotonic properties and is also used against neuralgia. Sage is used in therapy in the form of a decoction internally as an antiperspirant (especially against night sweats of tuberculosis and neurological diseases)

In the Mediterranean region, the well-known sage is dried and drunk as a decoction.

The decoction is taken and served immediately after boiling. If it stays for a long time with the boiled leaves, the bitter substances in the decoction increase and its taste becomes unpleasant.

In cooking, it is used to flavor various broths, foods and vinegar, while it is also considered a beekeeping plant, providing honey of exquisite quality.
