When you bring sage into your life, you are consuming a medicinal herb.
Incorporating just a handful of sage leaves in a meal upgrades it, making
your meal medicinal. Sage is often considered for two uses: burning sage to
scare away ghosts and spirits, or adding a little bit of sage’s woody flavor to
cuisine. Meanwhile, sage should really be seen for its medicinal power.
Sage has a wide variety of benefits, starting with its bone-building and strengthening properties. Sage leaves are high in neutral minerals, which are a combination of soft and trace minerals. These minerals don’t pull or leach precious minerals such as calcium from bones. And these soft and trace minerals that sage contains don’t overstimulate bone growth.
Bones aren’t made only from calcium. Mixed with calcium are other minerals (among other components) forged into each bone. The trace minerals in bones are mostly ignored by science and research, since calcium is the majority mineral making up bones. The misconception that calcium from a diet of dairy products helps bone health by building bones and making them strong is incorrect. Children’s bones do not develop because of calcium from cow milk and other dairy products. Children’s bones will grow utilizing trace minerals from almost every food—except the calcium in cow dairy, which will not contribute in the growth process. The human body will seek out calcium from nearly every non-dairy food the child eats, from every carrot to every pea to every sweet potato to even something allergenic such as wheat. If a baby consumes breast milk, that baby’s body will also be able to use its calcium. Human dairy (mother’s milk) has the correct calcium.<br>
Sage also has the mineral calcium. Sage is a very dense herb, filled with a host of other bone building blocks that help to fortify bone strength as well. Sage strengthens connective tissue, which is what wraps around the bones to provide support and strength to bones and joints. Sage’s density is packed with building blocks for collagen and skin as well. If you’re somebody concerned about calcifications, sage helps to break down and dissolve calcifications over time, including calcifications that build up on the walls of veins and arteries and end up blocking blood vessels.<br>
Sage’s phytochemical compounds are astringent, pungent, and strong. It’s this pungent astringency that helps detoxify and purge toxic waste out of the liver. It also purges waste from deep layers of the derma underneath the skin surface. When someone eats sage, they can smell slightly toxic from their
own poisons being pushed through their skin.<br>
Sage is also anti-pathogenic. Yeast, mold, unproductive funguses, viruses, and bad bacteria don’t like sage because sage creates a “slow burn” inside the liver and lymphatic system—meaning sage’s pungent, astringent odor and flavor stick around for a while, wreaking havoc on pathogens.<br>
Bringing sage into your life has many benefits and is well worth it for your health.

Try growing your own sage plant, whether in a garden bed or outdoor planter, or even in a pot by a window. Nurture sage, and it will nurture you.
Talk to your sage plant periodically. Touch its leaves. Fortify a connection with the plant medicine you are growing.
When you use sage in food, try to use fresh sage. It’s more potent and more beneficial.
To get started with sage, try eating just one leaf of sage a day with any other desired food. This can be a supplementation that offers lots of benefits. Over time, you may decide to increase your daily sage amount.
