Greek sage has many of the same qualitities as common sage. It is strongly anti-microbial and anti-fungal. It may also be used to relieve bowel spasm, as a nerve tonic and for reducing sweating in hot flushes. The advantage of Greek sage is that it contains much lower levels of the volatile oil thujone which can be toxic if taken in excess. Some authorities consider Greek sage to be the true herb of longevity, and the plant referred to in the Bible as Hyssop. See also aromatic waters and creams.
