How to Use Sage Safely

1. Sage Tea

Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried sage leaves in hot water for 5–10 minutes.

2. Culinary Sage

Add to soups, roasted vegetables, broths, and chicken dishes for everyday health support.

3. Sage Extracts or Capsules

Common in herbal supplements—always use recommended doses.

4. Sage Essential Oil (diluted)

May be applied topically for muscle or joint comfort—never ingest essential oils.

A Word of Safety

• Sage is generally safe but should be used in normal culinary or recommended supplement amounts.

• People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using medications should speak with a professional before taking concentrated forms.

• It is not a replacement for medical treatment for dementia, arthritis, or chronic pain—but it can be a valuable supportive herb.

The Bottom Line

Sage is far more than a kitchen seasoning. It is a plant deeply rooted in healing traditions, now backed by growing research. Its ability to support memory, cognitive clarity, inflammation regulation, and natural pain relief makes it a powerful herbal ally for anyone seeking a more natural approach to health.

It doesn’t “destroy” diseases, but it does offer meaningful support to the body—gently, consistently, and with centuries of wisdom behind it.
