Sage Leaves 20gr Grizo & Prasino

The perennial sage bush, with dense branches and a height of around 70 cm, silvery-grey fuzzy leaves and melange flowers, is found everywhere in Greece and its use is “respected” by peoples with a tradition of herbal consumption, such as the Chinese, who consider its infusion superior to their own tea.

It is used to add flavour to many dishes in Greek cuisine, but it is mainly drunk for preventive and therapeutic purposes. In the 1st century AD, Dioscorides mentions that sage infusion stops bleeding in wounds, cleanses ulcers and wounds, and recommends it for coughs and sore throats.
