Salvia is the Spanish word for sage. Sage is a spice used in cooking.
SALVIA DIVINORUM, is a 100% natural drug that shamans in Mexico used to induce visions. It causes a 5-15 minute high and a 30-60 minute "drop-off" You only need one toke which you need to hold in for about 20 seconds. Every trip is different some might have you talking to ice cream cones and others you might talk to god or see all different kinds of stuff. You need a sitter (a friend to keep you out of trouble) because you won't be able to control yourself for the peak of the high as it is like an out of body expierience.
Although some studies have indicated that Salvia divinorum may be effective in treating the symptoms of depression, taking Salvia divinorum (particularly smoking it) should be considered unhealthy, especially because the long term effects of Salvia divinorum usage are not well-known.

If by Salvia you mean Salvia Divinorum, then the answer is no. Salvia Divinorum is not used in Chinese medicine, as Salvia does not naturally grow in any region of China. Salvia Divinorum is only to be found in Oaxaca, Mexico.
No, Salvia nemorosa does not contain salvinorins, the active components of Salvia divinorum.
Is not recommended to mix Salvia Divinorum and other medications. Salvia extracts have enough power to use it by itself.
Species in the genus Salvia other than Salvia divinorum do not produce salvinorins, and thus have little to no psychoactive effects. Certain compounds found in other Salvia species have shown modest psychotropic activity, but ingesting or smoking a reasonable amount of the plant material would likely have no desirable effects. No other Salviaspecies share the same effects as Salvia divinorum,
It could be that you need higher extracts.
Salvia divinorum is not a chemical substance it's a plant that grows in Oaxaca Mexico which has some hallucinogen effects.
No, only Salvia divinorum has the active chemicals (salvinorins) which produce the psychoactive effects people associate with 'salvia'. Thus, bonfire salvia would not get one high.
Given the recent discovering of Salvia Divinorum and the lack of knowledge of its long-term effects, is recommended not to use Salvia while pregnant.
Is not recommended to mix salvia with some other substance. Salvia Divinorum is strong as is, and there could be some undesired or unexpected effects.
Salvia divinorum does not often produce seeds (and almost never produces viable ones). Also, the seeds are quite small and contain little Salvinorin A. Therefore, the foliage of S. divinorum is the part of the plant smoked for psychotropic effects, not the seeds.
