Sage Uses Today
In addition to its medicinal properties, sage has been proven to be a natural antiseptic and preservative for meat. When sage is made into a drink from the leaves, called the "thinker's tea," it has shown promise in treating Alzheimer's patients, as well as treating symptoms of depression.
