Sage
Good for coughs, colds and asthma. It also stimulates the production of gastric juices and helps the intestine.
Sage, a very known and widespread plant in the kitchen, is recognised, from a medicinal point of view to have inflammatory, balsamic, digestive and expectorant properties. It is also used to relieve menopausal disorders due to its content of natural estrogens (especially on "hot flashes"). It offers a good response against water retention, edema, rheumatism and headaches, and is also indicated in gingivitis and abscesses. The ursolic acid contained in it has anti-inflammatory activity ... It is also indicated in cases of physical or mental decline when a tonic action is needed. Promotes digestion. Many toothpastes are based on sage; in the absence of the prepared product, simply rub the teeth with a fresh leaf to obtain a whitening effect. An infusion of sage allows you to return your hair to a darker colour and lotions made with sage cleanse the skin.
