I took a nap right after.... FUCKED.UP.DREAMS. I was a mermaid with purple fins flying through the sky and some shit like that and my mom told me she saw me gnawing my thumb while I was sleeping. Anyways, yes - salvia contains a direct extract of sage herb. Moral: gargle the tea. don't fucking ingest it.

what you tried was different, while you're not supposed to ingest it, you're supposed to gargle it only
it's called shalphey in russian.

Why aren't you allowed to ingest it?

I don't know dude, I've tried the Salvia Polish tea, and it tastes quite good. Definitely no need to gargle it. I think what you're saying is she SHOULD have gargled shalpey, but instead she drank the tea.

Genus Salvia is not restricted to the Old World; several sage species from Central America are characterized by a sweet, fruity fragrance very dissimilar to Mediterranean sage, e.g. Pineapple sage (Salvia rutilans), peach sage (Salvia greggii), fruit sage (Salvia dorisiana) and more. Some of these become increasingly popular for herb infusions, others are grown as ornamentals for their large flowers.

Also native to Central America is a hallucinogenic species, Salvia divinorum (sacred sage, sage of the seers), which is of old cultivated by Central American Indians and was used in religious ceremonies before the advent of the Spaniards. The psychoactive constituents were identified as diterpenoid lactones (salvinorin A, divinorin C and others) specific for this species. S. divinorum is the only hallucinogenic species in the whole Lamiaceae family.
