Thank you for this wonderful information, Kiva!

This makes me anticipate watching my babies “wake up” this Spring!

Love to you,
Dana

Probably not, Ivy. As I said, I’ve never seen it referenced or talked about as a medicinal plant by anyone besides myself. And it is endemic to this area. You might try working with other Salvias local to your area though.

Thanks for this very informative materia medica on Sawtooth Sage. I don’t think I’ve seen it before or may not have noticed it. I’ll be adding this to my list!
I love your writing!

Do you know where it’s possible to get Sawtooth Sage, if you aren’t in the area where it grows? This actually sounds like it might be ideal for me, but seems relatively unknown.

I don’t actually know, Sam. I’ve always not used it in breastfeeding women because of the normal Salvia cautions, but I’ve not seen any constituent lists nor do I have any direct experience that implies that it would (or would not) dry up breast milk.

Would this variety of sage also be contraindicated in breastfeeding women?

Another precious one to add to my list when I come out in September…so much to see and do and so little time. I know that weekend is going to just fly!
I LOVE the way you write.
