Sauge à petites feuilles
Salvia microphylla · Baby Sage
Salvia microphylla, commonly known as littleleaf sage, is native to Mexico and traditionally has not been used in any specific medicinal practices. Scientific studies have shown that leaf extracts of Salvia microphylla exhibit potent antimicrobial activity and promising antioxidant properties. Additionally, research indicates that it may benefit cognitive function by reducing scopolamine-induced memory impairment through the amelioration of oxidative stress and acetylcholinesterase activity. The essential oil constituents of this plant vary among related species like Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae, with some showing significant in-vitro activity against HepG2 cells. Notably, 'Hot Lips' cultivars have a dominant non-terpene aroma profile contributing to their volatile compounds. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
