Subject: RE: Scar. Fair uncorrupting the corruptible
Sage, I have just read today, has a long established connection with mental ability, so maybe wisdom. Parsley, off the top of my head, was coyly described in a herbal I once read as appropriate for correcting menstrual cycles.

The four of them, though, are the commonest in English cuisine, apart from mint.
