-Back Soon- Sage Tincture- memory/menopause

Sage has a strong aroma and earthy flavor, which is why it’s typically used in small amounts. Even so, it’s packed with various important nutrients and compounds

Sage is a natural cleaning agent, pesticide, and ritual object in spiritual sage burning or smudging.

Here are 12 surprising health benefits of sage.

1. High in Several Nutrients

Sage contains over 160 distinct polyphenols, which are plant-based chemical compounds that act as antioxidants in your body.

Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, ellagic acid and rutin — all found in sage — are linked to impressive health benefits, such as a lower risk of cancer and improved brain function and memory.

One study found that drinking 1 cup (240 ml) of sage tea twice daily significantly increased antioxidant defenses. It also lowered both total cholesterol and “bad” LDL cholesterol, as well as raised “good” HDL cholesterol.

Sage has antimicrobial effects, which can neutralize microbes that promote dental plaque.

In one study, a sage-based mouthwash was shown to effectively kill the Streptococcus mutansbacteria, which is notorious for causing dental cavities. In a test-tube study, a sage-based essential oil was shown to kill and halt the spread of Candida albicans, a fungus that may also cause cavities (and MANY other health issues).

One review noted that sage may treat throat infections, dental abscesses, infected gums and mouth ulcers.

4. May Ease Menopause Symptoms

Symptoms include hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness and irritability.

Common sage was traditionally used to reduce menopause symptoms (12Trusted Source).

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.

In one study, daily use of a sage supplement significantly reduced the number and intensity of hot flashes over eight weeks.

The leaves of common sage have been used traditionally as a remedy against diabetes.

Human and animal research indicates that it may help lower blood sugar levels.

In one study, sage extract reduced blood glucose levels in rats with type 1 diabetes by activating a specific receptor. When this receptor is activated, it can help clear excess free fatty acids in the blood, which in turn improves insulin sensitivity.

Another study in mice with type 2 diabetes found that sage tea acts like metformin — a drug prescribed to manage blood sugar in people with the same disease.

In humans, sage leaf extract has been shown to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity with a similar effect as rosiglitazone, another anti-diabetes drug.

Sage can help support your brain and memory in several ways.

For one, it’s loaded with compounds that can act as antioxidants, which have been shown to buffer your brain’s defense system.

It also appears to halt the breakdown of the chemical messenger acetylcholine (ACH), which has a role in memory. ACH levels appear to fall in Alzheimer’s disease.

In one study, 39 participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease consumed either 60 drops (2 ml) of a sage extract supplement or a placebo daily for four months.

Those taking the sage extract performed better on tests that measured memory, problem-solving, reasoning and other cognitive abilities.

In healthy adults, sage was shown to improve memory in low doses. Higher doses also elevated mood and increased alertness, calmness and contentedness.

In both younger and older adults, sage appears to improve memory and brain function.

Every minute, more than one person in the US dies from heart disease (26).

High “bad” LDL cholesterol is a key heart disease risk factor, affecting one in three Americans (27).

Sage may help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, which can build up in your arteries and potentially cause damage.

In one study, consuming sage tea twice daily lowered “bad” LDL cholesterol and total blood cholesterol while raising “good” HDL cholesterol after just two weeks.

Several other human studies illustrate a similar effect with sage extract.

Cancer is a leading cause of death in which cells grow abnormally.

Interestingly, animal and test-tube studies demonstrate that sage may fight certain types of cancer, including those of the mouth, colon, liver, cervix, breast, skin and kidney.

In these studies, sage extracts not only suppress the growth of cancer cells but also stimulate cell death.

9–11. Other Potential Health Benefits

However, these benefits have not been extensively researched.

9. May alleviate diarrhea: Fresh sage is a
   traditional remedy for diarrhea. Test-tube and animal studies found that
   it contains compounds that may alleviate diarrhea by relaxing your gut.
10. May support bone health: Vitamin K,
    which sage offers in large amounts, plays a role in bone health. A deficiency in this vitamin
    is linked to bone thinning and fractures.
11. May combat skin aging: Several test-tube
    studies suggest that sage compounds may help fight signs of aging, such as wrinkles.
