Herbal encyclopedias have long listed sage (salvia) as a
memory enhancer. Researchers set out to determine the efficacy
of sage in young adults and found that a 50-microl dose of
salvia essential oil significantly enhanced memory in the
volunteers.
The two-trial experiment provides the first systematic evidence
that sage is useful for memory function, at least in the short
term.
