Rich in thujone, rosmarinic acid, and salvianolic acids, sage is clinically demonstrated to reduce menopausal hot flushes and night sweats, improve memory and cognitive speed, inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine (as some Alzheimer’s drugs do), and act as one of the most effective natural antiseptics for throat and oral infections. Rubbed sage has a more refined texture and concentrated flavour than cut leaf — ideal for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMenopausal hot flushes \u0026amp; night sweats · Memory \u0026amp; cognitive function · Throat \u0026amp; oral antiseptic · Excessive sweating · Digestive tonic · Anti-inflammatory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteep 1 tsp rubbed sage in 250ml hot water for 5–10 mins, covered.
