What Is Palestinian Sage (Miramiyeh)?
In Palestinian homes, few herbs hold as much reverence as miramiyeh, known around the world as sage. It grows wild on the rocky hills of Jerusalem and across the Levant. With its aromatic warmth, medicinal depth, and spiritual purity, miramiyeh has long been used to comfort both body and soul.
At Sea of Herbs, our family has preserved this herbal tradition for generations. Today, we continue to share it through our pure dried sage leaves, our Sage Oil, and our custom herbal tea blends made with care and ancient knowledge.
Health Benefits of Palestinian Sage
1. Supports Respiratory and Digestive Health
Miramiyeh is widely known to ease bloating, stomach cramps, and indigestion. Its natural anti-inflammatory compounds calm the digestive system. Moreover, its gentle aroma can soothe the airways, making it an ideal herb for the colder months.
2. Enhances Mental Clarity and Focus
The essential oils in sage can improve memory and concentration. When you diffuse Sea of Herbs Sage Oil during meditation or study, it helps clear the mind and promote balance. For this reason, it remains a favorite in both traditional herbalism and modern aromatherapy.
3. Reduces Stress and Clears Negative Energy
For centuries, Palestinians have burned sage to purify the home and cleanse energy. You can achieve a similar effect by diffusing our Sage Oil or adding a few drops to a warm bath. As a result, it promotes relaxation and peace after long days.
4. Balances Hormones and Eases Menstrual Discomfort
Sage contains natural phytoestrogens that help reduce cramps and hot flashes. In addition, it brings gentle hormonal balance. Drinking our custom herbal sage tea during cycles may offer calm, warmth, and emotional balance.
5. A Soothing, Healing Drink for Body and Soul
