The word ‘sage’ is derived from the Latin ‘salvere’ meaning ‘to save’.
The Romans, Greeks, and other ancient societies had great faith in sage’s ability to ‘save’ them from all manner of physical and mental ailments, and in many of these societies, sage was considered sacred, believed widely to have the ability to lengthen life.
