Some of the uses included: warding off evil, snakebites, increasing women's fertility, and others. Greek botanist Theophrastus (c. 371 – c. 287 BC), wrote about two different types of sage, a wild shrubby plant (‘sphakos’), and a similar cultivated plant (‘elelisphakos’). Dioscorides (c. 40–90 AD), Greek physician, pharmacologist, botanist, and author of ‘De materia medica’- a 5-volume Greek pharmacopoeia about herbal medicine and related medicinal substances -recommended sage as a remedy with a diuretic, haemostatic, emmenagogue, and tonic properties. Similar recommendations were found in the works of Galen (129 – c. 216 AD), a Greek physician, surgeon and philosopher in the Roman Empire. Over the centuries, sage was also used in various preparations for hair care, insect bites, nervous conditions, in oral preparations for inflammation of the mouth, tongue and throat, and to reduce fevers.
