Question
I am growing sage.  This year is the first year that is has bloomed.  Do I use the leaves only, such as drying for use( which takes how long?) and are the flowers used for anything?
I'm having fun in  my herb garden, but not sure of what I am doing.  I also suffer from leg pain and muscle spasms from fibromyalgia.  Will sage help pain or is there another herb I can grow and how?
Thanks Diane L.


Answer
Hi Diane,  For your pain, white willow bark may help some, it is a natural aspirin.  But there are other things.  If you have some valerian capsules take them at night only.  They will make you sleepy, but will relax your leg muscles.  

Please send me a folowup.  I want to research the sage and other herbs that will help you with the fibromyalgia.  I stay real busy so dont let me forget.  You are important to me.
