Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

Sage has been around since ancient times and used for a variety of ailments over the centuries,

including in a potion to ward off the plague.

In this window box is one of the ornamental varieties of Salvia.

Modern Chinese herbalists have found that salvia miltiorrhiza helps to prevent heart attack and stroke

and may thwart bone loss and the development of Alzheimer's disease.

I was hoping to discover its ability to make one "sage"

but that doesn't seem to be in its dossier.

Oh well!

It is pretty and it does add flavor to life!
