Sage

Also known as: common sage, Salvia officinalis

Common sage is a culinary and medicinal herb containing rosmarinic acid and essential oils, including thujone. It is traditionally used for excessive sweating, sore throat and digestion.

What it is used for

  • hot flushes and excessive sweating in menopause – weak to moderate evidence from smaller studies
  • memory and attention – weak evidence from small studies
  • sore throat (gargling) and digestion – weak evidence, traditional use

Forms and how they differ

dry extract tablets

more precise dosing; some products are low in thujone

tincture (also alcohol-free)

quick to take; thujone content depends on the product

tea

gentle form, also suitable for gargling

When to take it

For sweating, preferably in the morning and before noon; drink the tea lukewarm or cold.

Pairs well with

Black cohosh, exercise, limiting alcohol and spicy food with hot flushes.

Do not combine / separate

Take care combining with epilepsy medicines, sedatives and diabetes medicines.

Watch out for

Not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding (it may reduce milk supply). With epilepsy, hormone-sensitive conditions or when taking medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Thujone is neurotoxic in high doses – do not exceed the label dose, do not take it long term without breaks and do not take the essential oil internally.

Practical tip

Safe as a kitchen herb; with extracts, use it in courses (e.g. 4–6 weeks followed by a break).
