Antiaging Secret valued for centuries!

Want another antiaging secret?

It's sage....that yummy herb found in most kitchens and many gardens!

It has been prized for centuries. The American Indians used it topically and internally for its health benefits.

Folk medicine has always associated it with longevity. It is useful for improving the memory and reducing anxiety . It helps alleviate mental confusion, and can lift depression.

in 1652 Nicholas Culpepper, wrote that: "It [sage] also heals the memory, warming and quickening the senses."

Modern researchers are discovering that sage's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties could be a valuable treatment for Alzheimers:

Scientists at the Universities of Newcastle and Northumbria tested 44 people, who were either given the herb or a dummy placebo.

Those given the sage oil tablets performed much better in a "word recall test". It is believed the active ingredient may boost levels of a chemical that helps transmit messages in the brain.

I don't think that would be much surprise to the herbalists who have always known about this antiaging secret!
