GREEK DRIED SAGE BUNCH 50GR
GREEK DRIED SAGE BUNCH 50GR. Sage is a perennial shrub with many branches, which is found mainly in dry and stony places in all parts of Greece. It is an aromatic plant, the leaves of which are used both to prepare a decoction and as a spice. It’s taste is quite peppery, so in cooking it is used to season fatty meats and cheeses. It also flavors various broths and vinegar. Its leaves have antiseptic, expectorant and antispasmodic properties.
Sage helps with oral hygiene, especially in cases of cold sores, pharyngitis and gingivitis. It reduces intestinal gas and is a diuretic. It is considered particularly useful in the treatment of heavy sweating, both night sweats and those found in the hands and armpit area.
To prepare a decoction, add 10-20gr. dried sage in a liter of boiling water, for about 10 minutes. The herb should not be left in the water for a long time, because then bitter substances are released and its taste becomes unpleasant. Consume up to three cups a day before meals. Sage should not be consumed by people with hypertension and should not be consumed for a long time (1-2 weeks at a time).
