Sage (Salvia officinalis)
Mediterranean plant used in menopausal phytotherapy to reduce hot flashes and night sweats. A clinical trial showed significant reduction in hot flash frequency and intensity. Contains thujone, neurotoxic at high doses: thujone-free extracts are preferable. Contraindicated in epilepsy and during pregnancy.
Never use a dietary supplement without the advice of a healthcare professional. Overdoses as well as deficiencies are not without risk.
