Abstract
In ancient times, herbs were highly esteemed for their intrinsic health benefits and medicinal properties, making them integral to healing practices. Among these revered herbs, Sage, a member of the Salvia species, stands out. The term "Sage" originates from the Latin word 'Salvere,' signifying "to save," thus aptly earning its reputation as a 'Saviour' herb. Sage, belonging to the aromatic Lamiaceae family, commonly referred to as the mint family, holds a significant place. Numerous research endeavors have underscored the potential of sage species for drug development due to their noteworthy pharmacological attributes and therapeutic efficacy with marveling properties such as Anti-inflammation, Mood and Memory modulation, Anti-sweating and relief in Hot Flashes experienced by menopausal women. This plant, globally recognized, goes by various names, including Common Sage, Culinary Sage, and Garden Sage in English, Salvia in Hindi, Bui Tulasi in Bengali, Dharba in Telugu, Kamarkas in Marathi, and Sathi in Punjabi. This multicultural nomenclature underscores the widespread acknowledgment of sage's significance across diverse regions and cultures. Evidently, sage's historical reverence persists, as it continues to be a subject of study and exploration for its diverse health-promoting properties. Its enduring legacy as a 'Saviour' herb echoes its integral role in traditional and contemporary wellness practices
