"The root of the name Salvia comes from the Latin verb salvare, meaning 'to heal or save,' another indication of its (white sage) powerful tonic and spiritual purposes. Historically, the Dutch used to barter with the Chinese, bringing as much as three times its weight in tea."
~ Rosemary Gladstar and Pam Hirsch, Planting the Future: Saving our Herbs
