In the first century C.E. Greek physician Dioscorides, used sage juice to treat coughs and hoarseness. A member of the mint family, Sage (Salvia officinalis) originated from the northern Mediterranean coast, where it was traditionally used for cooking. Italians are known to add flavor to veal with sage, while the French use it for sausages, stuffing and cured meats. The herb's warm and musky essence also probably reminds you of homemade turkey dressing - a Thanksgiving staple loved by many Americans.

You can also use sage to relieve ailments including sore throat, cough and the common cold.
