Make a sage tea by steeping a handful of fresh leaves or 1 tablespoon of dried sage in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Strain and sip slowly to soothe sore throats and coughs.

2. Memory and Focus Enhancer:

Burning sage (smudging) was traditionally used to clear the mind and sharpen focus.

Light a bundle of dried sage and allow the smoke to gently fill the room, especially before studying or important meetings.

3. Natural Air Purifier:

Sage smoke not only refreshes a space spiritually but also reduces bacteria in the air.

Smudge regularly to naturally cleanse your home environment.

4. Skin Soother:

Prepare a sage infusion and use it as a skin toner to calm irritations, insect bites, and minor wounds.

5. Household Cleaner:

Combine sage tea with vinegar in a spray bottle to make a natural antibacterial cleaner for kitchens and bathrooms.

6. Culinary Spice:

Sage adds rich flavor to meats, stews, and pasta dishes.

Fresh sage leaves can be fried lightly in butter for an aromatic topping.
