Sage was once among the most respected of medicinal herbs. However, today, we know it best as the perfect herb to add flavour to chicken dishes, but it also goes well with pork and beef. Try it chopped and lightly sautéed in butter as a classic Italian addition to pasta. If you tend to suffer from bloating or indigestion, a cup of sage tea will set you to rights again, and many people believe that it helps with memory too.
