[Common sage / Kryddsalvia (S) / Salvia officinalis] In the past, sage was believed to be one of the most potent herbs. It was dried and put into small bags that could be hung over the bed or put into the mattress, or turned into incense, and it would protect you and your home from bad spirits. It is good against colds, but just as with thyme, it should be avoided by pregnant women.
