Sage as Herbal

Herbs are great plants to grow in the garden because they’re so useful in cooking. 
But perhaps you’re not using your herbs to fullest? 

Even if you just made a tea, you’re expanding the usefulness of that herb. 

But what kind of benefits would you get from just drinking a freshly made herbal tea? 
Let’s find out … I'm talking to new contributor Simone Jeffries, a naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist. www.simonejeffriesnaturopath.com.au 

Sage is Salvia officinalis which you may already know, means it’s the one for medicinal use. 
There’s no point buying a Pineapple sage plant and using it’s leaves, it just has to be the medicinal sage which is also the culinary sage. 
There are heaps of benefits of drinking Sage tea but Sage tea is an acquired taste.
