I use sage like my grandmother taught me, it saved my life!
Sage is one of the most widespread and used aromatic herbs in our country.
In the kitchen, its aroma is unmistakable . Whether to season fresh pasta, along with a good dose of melted butter (a typically northern custom), to flavor a risotto or for battered pancakes, its leaves are a mine of useful substances 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 of toothpaste) it does not exhaust its potential only in the culinary or healing field, but extends it far beyond .
In fact, 4 sheets are enough to solve many problems in the house, some of which are really unexpected.
Are you curious to discover them with us? Begin!
I use sage to solve all these problems, and life smiles on 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. This is precisely the key word, perfume!
That is why sage comes in handy to deodorize the kitchen after having prepared luxurious banquets based on fish, onion, cabbage, juggern and anything else that gives off a not-too-pleasant, but persistent, smell.
How to proceed? It’s as simple as that. Simply boil a saucepan of water and add 4 infused sage leaves . Turn off the gas and let them soak until the water cools. You can add a teaspoon of baking soda to speed up the perfume delivery process.
This method allows us to make the atmosphere in 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 rooms.
Furthermore, the wonderful plant protects us from uncomfortable presences: mosquitoes, gnats, but also ants and cockroaches cannot tolerate its smell. It is enough to place a vase in front of the windows to spend a summer without uninvited guests.
Finally, it is wonderful against humidity. In the bathroom, for example, a jar of sage can attract water vapor like a magnet and slow the formation of mold.
So what are you waiting for, plant it everywhere, solve so many problems!
