Phytomenopause Sage

Sage is a perennial herb belonging to the Labiate family and can be found throughout Europe, particularluy in the Mediterranean region.

The botanical name for Sage, "Salvia", is derived from the Latin word salvare, meaning "to save".

The leave are rich in flavonoids, which gives sage its antioxidant properties, and essential oils, which give its spicy taste and aromatic smell. The essential oils are also thought to help aid digestion.

Sage has traditionally been chosen by women, particularly during the menopause.

Action mechanism
Sage ejects enteric gas out side of the body, has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, astringent and antimicrobial effects. The antispasmodic and astringent effects would explain sage’s usefulness against excessive perspiration and hot flashes. An in vitro study showed sage to have an affinity for benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, which could explain its calming effect. In another in vitro study, sage was also shown to have an antioxidant effect.

Does it work?

In a clinical study conducted on a sage extract, 30 women reported an effective relief of menopause symptoms. Hot flashes and night sweats had completely disapeared for 20 women and the other symptoms were greatly improved. The researchers mention that sage’s effect does not go through a hormonal action mechanism since the level of circulating hormones are not affected.

Bioforce has published the results of a clinical study conducted on the sage extract. For 8 weeks, 39 women taking either the extract or a placebo kept a diary of their symptoms. 75% of the women taking sage extract evaluated their condition as being better or a lot better compared to 47% in the placebo group. The average number of hot flashes was reduced by 56.3% with sage extract against an increase of 4.8% in the placebo group.

Sage extract may also improve cognitive functions
Sage’s interesting effect on memory mechanisms as well as its potential application in the treatment of demencia and Alzheimer’s disease (due to its cholinergic action) were recently brought to light. A double blind placebo controlled clinical trial revealed a significative effect on the quality of life of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Sage helps reduce agitation and improves cognitives functions.
