SAGE known in Latin as salvia officinalis, meaning "safe" and "to be well" or "to heal". We often get a lot of customers asking us about the benefits of Sage for female health so we thought we would share some of the benefits with you. Sage is a brilliant healing agent for feminine complaints and is a particularly good herb to aid hot flashes in menopausal women.

🌱MENOPAUSE- In a study carried out by by Bommer, Kline and Suter (2011) on Sage, trials were conducted in which menopausal women consumed sage tablets every day for a period of eight weeks and their hot flashes decreased by 64% by week 8. It is also frequently thought to aid sweating, sleep issues during the menopausal years. It’s believed that compounds in sage have estrogen-like properties, allowing them to bind to certain receptors in your brain to help improve memory and treat hot flashes and excessive sweating

🌱DIGESTION- Sage is often used to improve digestion, it may have an added bonus: weight loss. By boosting your digestion, this herbal tea helps your system to move foods along quicker along your digestive tract, absorbing the nutrients you need and getting rid of wastes faster.

It also improves attention in the elderly and counters cognitive impairment, as well as helping to improve behavioural measures in Alzheimer’s disease.
