- How to Use Sage
Culinary:
Use fresh or dried sage leaves to flavor soups, stews, and meats. Pairs well with root vegetables, poultry, and butter-based sauces.
Medicinal:
Brew sage tea to alleviate sore throats, digestive issues, or menstrual pain. Apply sage-infused oil topically to relieve muscle pain or insect bites.
Smudging:
Light one end of a dried sage bundle and let it smolder, spreading the smoke around your space or body for energy cleansing.
Precautions
Avoid excessive use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. People with certain medical conditions (like epilepsy) should consult a doctor before using sage. Use smudging responsibly in well-ventilated areas to avoid respiratory irritation.
