Health Benefits : Sage

[earth-angel]

Sage and onion stuffing for roast goose is true kitchen medicine.
Sage aids digestion of rich, heavy food, and Italian cooks always add a leaf of sage to the pan when they fry sausages or pork.

It also acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system, making it a valuable tonic for convalescents, or for those suffering from stress or nervous exhaustion.
The French make a tonic wine with it, admirable for those run down, or getting over a nasty viral infection.

Sage is powerful stuff, however, it can dry up mother's milk, so don't use it medicinally for more than a week at a time.
