bunnyjadwigaOk, in no particular order, there are a number of things I'll need to note in my treatise on sage.
One is that it's name comes from the Latin, to save.
Sage was eaten in the month of May as a tonic.
It's an astringent, as was often used for 'women's complaints.'
Proverb: "Why should a man die if sage groweth in his garden?"
