May ....it's time for Sage Harvest!

Sage harvest with flowers

At the beginning of May it's a time for celebrating aliveness, creativity and beauty of nature

I take walks and admire blossoms in my garden and in our herbland! I love sage lilac flowers!We harvest sage early on May and collect only the powerful leaves!

Sage is a popular herb with long grayish leaves which, when it blooms, is filled with small lilac flowers. Traditionally it is used as a beverage to stimulate the body and soothe indigestion. Drink it while battling a cold or do gargles to make your sore throat feel better.

Don’t hesitate to use it as culinary herb in your kitchen as well - it pairs especially well with tomato sauces. We also recommend it as a substitute to lavender to protect your clothes in your closet.

Sage is used for digestive problems, including loss of appetite, gas (flatulence), stomach pain (gastritis), diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. It is also used for reducing overproduction of perspiration and saliva; and for depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease.
