HISTORY FROM "GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Sage from the combination of the words "sfakos" which means oleander in the Cretan dialect and apple! Its name is of particular etymological interest as the word sfaka is a borrowing of Greek from pre-Greek! The Indo-European tribes that had conquered Greece, such as the Pelasgians, the Leleges and the Carians, are responsible for this name.
The Latins called it "salvia" from the verb ΄΄salvere "which means healthy and they were not wrong. Sage in ancient Rome was considered to ensure immortality. For this reason, they considered it sacred and dedicated it to the king of the gods, Zeus.
The ancient Greeks, on the other hand, highly valued it, adopting it even in the medical practices they used. Hippocrates and Dioscorides, for example, used it on patients who had been bitten by a snake but also to stimulate the mind and body. Also, warriors returning from the war had to drink a sage drink to improve their male fertility. Finally, the Centaurs and Asclepius who lived in the sage-filled Pelion, found a cure for various diseases using it!
