In a busy modern life, having a cool living space with lots of green trees is a trend that every family needs. One of the simplest and most effective ways that housewives especially love is growing sage at home.
Accordingly, sage (also known as sage) is not only an easy-to-grow herb but also brings many significant health benefits every day.
Improve air quality
Sage has the ability to purify the air, helping to remove toxic substances and improve indoor air quality. According to some studies, sage can absorb pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichlorethylene.
These are substances that often appear in household products such as paint, cleaning supplies and construction materials. By absorbing these substances, sage helps reduce the risk of respiratory diseases and improves the overall health of family members.
In addition, sage also releases large amounts of oxygen, helping to increase the amount of oxygen in the air and creating a feeling of comfort and ease. Having a fresh, airy living space will contribute to improving the quality of life, especially on hot summer days.
Reduce stress
Sage is also known for its relaxing and stress-reducing properties. Sage essential oil contains compounds that calm the nerves, reduce anxiety and improve mood. Growing and caring for sage can be a good relaxing activity, helping to reduce anxiety after a busy day at work.
The gentle scent of sage is also effective in improving sleep . You can place a small pot of sage in the bedroom to create an airy space, making it easier to fall into deeper sleep.
Use in food preparation
Sage not only brings health and psychological benefits but is also a great ingredient in culinary preparation. Sage leaves have a characteristic aroma and slightly bitter taste, and are often used to spice dishes. Housewives can use sage leaves to marinate meat, cook soup, or spice up salads.
Using fresh sage leaves in cooking not only makes the dish more attractive but also adds many nutrients. Sage leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, K and minerals such as calcium, iron and manganese to help strengthen the immune system, improve bone health and prevent chronic diseases.
Medicinal effects
Sage has long been used in traditional medicine with many valuable medicinal effects. Sage leaves have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to treat infections, sore throats, and gastrointestinal problems. Use sage leaves to make tea or as a mouthwash to help soothe your throat and reduce inflammation.
