Painting from Koehler's Medicinal Plants (1887) Salvia officinalis has been used since ancient times for warding off evil, snakebites, increasing women's fertility, and more.

Theophrastus wrote about two different sages, a wild undershrub he called sphakos, and a similar cultivated plant he called elelisphakos. Pliny the Elder said the latter plant was called salvia by the Romans, and used as a diuretic, a local anesthetic for the skin, a styptic, and for other uses.
