Sage is an all-natural herb that can be easily grown in your garden or purchased at your local health food store. It has been said that sage tea has many medicinal benefits; this is a perk for those who shy away from traditional medicinal treatments. To make this tea yourself, add a teaspoon of sage into a cup of boiling water, and then allow it to steep over a covered cup for a period of 15 to 30 minutes, depending on desired strength. These health benefits may not work for everyone.

Colds

Sage tea may treat the symptoms of the cold, flu or bronchitis. Not only can it work as an expectorant, it also has the ability to help your body sweat out the harmful toxins responsible for the ailment.

Cuts

Taking a cloth and soaking it in cold sage tea, then applying it to an open cut or sore can relieve pain and speed up the healing process, according to TeaBenefits.com.

Enhanced Memory

Drinking sage tea may not only enhance your memory, but also assist you in retaining what you read while you are studying, according to TeaBenefits.com.

Gum Inflammation

Rinsing your mouth three times a day with a cup of cold sage tea may help reduce gum inflammation, as well as assist in healing any mouth sores you may have.

Warning

Pregnant women should not drink sage tea, as it can induce contractions. In addition, if you have any serious health conditions, do not stop taking any medications unless advised by your physician first

Facial Exercises to Tighten the Skin on Upper Eyelids

If you want to tone the skin on your face, plastic surgery is not the only option. Facial exercises can help tighten the skin on your upper eyelids.
