Abstract

The study is to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of extracts of Sage. Sage is an herb native to the Mediterranean, belonging to the Lamiaceae (mint) family along with oregano, lavender, rosemary, thyme and basil. In Ayurveda, sage has been used for its medicinal properties for various indications. flavonoids, phenolic acids, and oxygen-handling enzymes are components of sage, which include mainly superoxide dismutase and peroxidase. Assessment of in-vitro anti inflammatory activity was done by inhibition of protein denaturation. The usage of natural products has less side effects and its easily available. Hence, sage being a natural product can be used for its anti-inflammatory property.
