Sage is carminative on the one hand, but on the other it inhibits putrefactive and fermentation processes, during which they are produced.”Substancje czynne zawarte w szałwi zmniejszają wydzielanie mleka, potu i łoju. Wywierają działanie ściągające na błony śluzowe, przeciwzapalne, antybakteryjne, przeciwgrzybicze i przeciwskurczowe.
