I use sage as my grandmother taught me, it saved my life!

  is one of the most widespread and used aromatic herbs in our country.

In  the kitchen, its aroma is unmistakable . Whether used to season fresh pasta, with a good dose of melted butter (a typical northern custom), to flavour a risotto or to coat pancakes, its leaves are a treasure trove of substances useful for the well-being of our body.

Digestive, antibacterial, antiviral,  with known whitening properties for tooth enamel (it is no coincidence that it is one of the main ingredients in toothpaste) it does not exhaust its potential only in the culinary or healing field, but extends it much further.

In fact, 4 sheets are enough to solve many problems in the house, some of which are really unexpected.

Curious to discover them with us? Get started!

I use sage to solve all these problems, and life smiles at me.

Let’s start with a historical fact: our grandmothers rubbed the leaves on their teeth not only to whiten them, but also to  perfume  their breath. That’s the key word, perfume!

That’s why sage is very useful for  deodorizing the kitchen after preparing luxurious banquets based on fish, onions, cabbage, juggern and anything else that gives off a not-so-pleasant but persistent smell.

How to proceed? It’s as simple as that.  Just boil a pot of water and add 4 infused sage leaves . Turn off the gas and let them soak until the water cools down.  You can add a teaspoon of baking soda  to speed up the process of delivering the perfume.

This method allows us to make the atmosphere of the house fresh regardless of what we prepare for dinner or lunch, let’s adopt it, once a week to enjoy the fresh air.

We can also dry  sage,  even better if it is braided with  rosemary  , and then use it as  incense to deodorize the rooms.

In addition, this  wonderful plant  protects us from unpleasant presences:  mosquitoes, gnats, but also ants and cockroaches  cannot stand its smell. Just place a vase in front of the windows to spend a summer without uninvited guests.

Finally, it is prodigious against  humidity.  In the bathroom, for example, a jar of sage can attract water vapor like a magnet and delay the formation of mold.

So what are you waiting for, plant it everywhere, it solves so many problems!
