The name Salvia, the largest genus of Lamiaceae, derives from the Latin "salvere" (= to feel good, healthy). In the Mediterranean basin, S. officinalis has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians for medicinal purposes. Pliny the Elder was the first known author to describe a plant called "Salvia" by the Romans. Recent scientific research has confirmed the antituberculosis properties of numerous species present in the traditional ethnobotany.
