Salvia officinalis (Sage), is a short lived semiwoody shrub that gets up to 2 ft (0.6 m) tall with a similar spread. It has intensely aromatic, thick, wooly, gray green or multi colored, oval leaves to 3 in (7.6 cm) long. They are pebbly, like seersucker, with conspicuous veins on the underside and arranged in opposing pairs on the square stem. Sage extract is most commonly the variation that people are prescribed for their health and medicinal needs. The extract form can be found at many health food stores, but it is important to speak to a healthcare professional about proper dosage.
