About this plant

The leaves of Salvia officinalis contain thujone, with antimicrobial properties, and rosmarinic acid, a potent antioxidant. Traditionally used for dyspepsia, excessive sweating, and mouth inflammations. The Latin name derives from salvare, meaning to save, and in the Middle Ages it was called Salvia salvatrix, sage the saviour. Emperor Charlemagne decreed its cultivation on every imperial farm.
