Impotence
Sage useful for indigestion and impotence
In the Italian kitchen, sage is used primarily in preparations with meat and cheeses as well as in stuffing and in soups. It is one of the most used aromatic herbs as evidenced by its ubiquitous presence in Italian gardens.
Besides being used for roasts, meat roulades, stuffing and sauces, sage’s pleasurable and slightly spicy aroma can transform simple melted butter into a delicious condiment for pasta and rice. Sage leaves lightly battered and fried in hot oil are also delightful.
The Latin name for sage, salvia, means “to heal". In ancient times, people believed sage to be an aphrodisiac, an aid to warding off evil, snakebites, increasing women's fertility, and more. The Romans likely introduced it to Europe from Egypt.
An old Italian proverb says "chi ha la salvia nell'orto ha la salute nel corpo" (sage in your garden brings health to your body). For medicinal purposes sage leaves or flowers are used in a variety of ways. Italians believe sage works as an anti-bacterial and healing herb. Sage is used as an anhidrotic, antibiotic, astringent, antispasmodic, estrogenic, hypoglycemic and tonic.
