Sage

Sage is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. Already in ancient times and in the Middle Ages it was so famous that at times only trusted people were assigned to collect the herb.

Taste. The flavour of sage is just as intense as its fragrance: pleasantly bitter and spicy. egast is not just the leaves, the sage flowers are also edible.

Effect. Sage is not only anti-inflammatory, but also astringent, antiseptic and antispasmodic. These are all reasons why many toothpastes are enriched with sage and why many cough lozenges contain sage as an ingredient.
