There are several species of the sage herb, each with its own characteristics that make them have different uses.

The leaves and stems are used in cooking for flavoring sausages, pork, sauces, cheese, dressings and stuffing. Sage is also brewed for tea.

Sage herb can be used as an antiseptic and anti-fungal; it improves the digestion, and this is why it is sometimes used with heavy meals. It will also help control diarrhea. The purple variety of S. officinalis is generally used in medicine, and is more effective than the green plant. In China, the root of a related plant, S. miltiorrhiza (dan shen), is used as a tonic herb.

The Artemisa variety is very bitter, great as an insect repellant, and can be sprayed with alcohol after the plant is boiled to let all it's juices out. This variety is not intended for cooking.

On the discussion boards, "sage" keeps a thread from being bumped to the top.  It's no longer a feature of the image boards.

It's pronounced sagé, not sage.

Sage also has a distinctive smell when burned, like a mellow, outdoorsy incense.  I am not a big believer in aroma therapy, but it can be rather nice in the summer.

When camping in the desert, there is nothing like the sweet smell of the wild sage in the morning just before sunrise!

In English, yes. And some people use it as a double meaning. But the word, as used on chan boards, is Japanese in origin. It's the short form of "sageru," which means "to lower."
