ABSTRACT

Recent years have seen a global resurgence of interest in herbal medicine due to a desire for natural and holistic approaches to health, increased awareness of the side effects of synthetic drugs and scientific evidence supporting herbal remedies. Herbal medicine has a deep-rooted history and is closely tied to traditional practices and cultural beliefs. Many people rely on herbs and natural remedies to heal and maintain their health. Sage (Salvia officinalis), commonly known as "maramia" in Arabic culture, is a herbaceous perennial plant with a distinctive aroma and earthy flavour. It holds significant scientific interest due to its rich phytochemical profile and potential therapeutic applications, warranting further research and exploration of its medicinal properties. This article provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of sage, including its herbal characteristics, habitat harvesting and safety issues contributing to understanding its uses in herbal medicine.
