Redroot sage, also known as Dan shen, red sage, chinese sage or Chinese sage, is an herb originally found in China and Japan. This herb has been used for centuries in traditional medicine in these countries, particularly for its medicinal properties. Its Latin name, Salvia miltiorrhiza, refers to the long red roots that are put into teas, drinks, tablets, capsules and ointments. Redroot sage roots are rich in tanshinones and salvianolic acids, potent compounds that may contribute to heart, liver and immune system health.
Redroot sage is most commonly used in the form of a powder or extract, which is added to various dietary supplements, medicines and cosmetic products. In medicine, extracts of the root are used to treat cardiovascular disease, especially in patients with high blood pressure and angina. It is also used in the treatment of stroke, insomnia, chronic liver disease, diabetes and many other health problems. In wellness products such as teas and beverages, redroot sage is used for its antioxidant properties and ability to boost the immune system. Even in the cosmetic industry, products containing redroot sage can be found. Its extracts are added to creams, masks and serums for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help improve the condition of the skin.
