Did you know sage is useful for menopause symptoms?
Stress and anxiety is a big factor in menopause, especially with hot flushes that are driven by the adrenal glands.
Sage has traditionally been used over centuries to reduce menopause symptoms.
It’s believed that compounds in sage have oestrogen-like properties, allowing them to bind to
receptors in the brain that help improve memory, hot flushes and excessive sweating.
