You probably know sage as a cooking spice. But it’s too good just to keep in your kitchen and break out only for your Thanksgiving turkey.
Your ancient ancestors prized sage. They thought people who drank sage tea never got old.
They called sage the “herb of immortality.”
In ancient Rome, if you wanted to pick sage you had to have a ceremony. The ancient Aztecs also revered it, and used the leaves to make face paint that marked rank in their society.
When patients in my clinic ask me how to relieve sneezing, itching, coughing and runny noses, the first thing I do is speak with them about histamines.
Let me show you why…
When your immune system thinks it’s found something that doesn’t belong, it reacts defensively. Your body starts to release chemicals, one of which is histamine. Itching, sneezing and even hives are all signs that histamines are at work…
You can’t turn on a TV or pick up a magazine or newspaper these days without seeing the latest, scary statistics about this season’s flu epidemic.
But what can you do about it?
Well, first, you can try to prevent getting sick in the first place. You can take advantage of something you probably already have in your own kitchen … garlic.
