SAGE..🪴
"People often ask me why I use Sage. Well..."
People use sage for various reasons, depending on the context. Here are some of the most common uses:
1. Culinary Use:
Sage is a popular herb in cooking. It has a strong, earthy flavor that complements meats (especially pork and poultry), stuffing, sausages, and sauces. People use it fresh or dried in recipes.
2. Medicinal Use:
Sage has been traditionally used in herbal medicine. It’s believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Some use it to soothe sore throats, aid digestion, or improve memory.
3. Spiritual and Ritual Use:
Burning sage (often white sage) in a practice called smudging is common in some cultures, especially Indigenous American traditions. People use sage smoke to cleanse spaces, objects, or themselves from negative energy, purify the environment, or promote healing and clarity.
