Sage is found to be anti-fungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. When showering with Sage Soap, be mindful of its rich, skin-moisturizing oils, as well as the sacredness this herb has held for many generations.
The use of sage probably began in ancient Egypt, from which the herb was likely introduced to Rome and later to Europe. Pliny the Elder recommended sage for various maladies, not the least of which was, as herbalist Nicholas Culpeper relates, to "cureth stinging and biting serpents" and to "help the memory, warming and quickening the senses."
