Chopped Sage – Salvia officinalis

Chopped sage (Salvia officinalis) is an aromatic herb that has been prized worldwide for centuries in herbal teas, herbal blends and spices. Its grey-green leaves have a distinctive herbaceous aroma and a slightly bitter, warming flavour. Sage can be used on its own or in combination with other herbs and is prized for its versatility in the kitchen and as an ingredient in hot infusions.

Sage is traditionally used to support various bodily functions and maintain wellbeing, for example to aid digestion, soothe the throat, provide comfort during the menopause and regulate excessive sweating. It is a herb that has been used in the home for generations and is known for its aromatic and mild nature.

Health claims for botanicals are currently awaiting European approval. Consequently, all traditional uses are described as being of a supportive nature, and no medical claims may be made.
