SAGE – natural herbal help for hot flushes associated with menopause

Hot flushes are the most common menopausal symptom, experienced by three-quarters of women, but that doesn’t mean they are something that has to be endured. There are lifestyle changes and natural remedies that can help. Lifestyle changes would be to improve the diet, exercise more, get more sleep and reduce stress.

For some women, lifestyle changes are not enough and more help is needed. That’s when Sage can help.

Salvia or Sage is one of the oldest medicinal plants and has been used for centuries by herbalists in the treatment of hot flushes. Nature gives a clue to its use, as when the plant is in the full sun, the leaves appear to have little drops of perspiration. Sage has a re-balancing effect on the hypothalamus thus correcting sweat regulation.

Echinacea purpurea

USES Immune stimulant, Colds, Flu, Infections.

The Echinacea herb is one of the most popular herbs used in Europe. It is considered to be the prime remedy for the Immune system and this view has been supported by extensive research.

HOW IT WORKS Echinacea works principally by stimulating a group of cells in the Immune system known as the macrophages. These cells have the unique ability to ‘eat’ matter foreign to the body, such as viruses, bacteria and other particles entering the body.

Stimulating the Immune system in this way improves the way the body handles infections, when viruses and bacteria do damage to invade the body. Clinical trials have shown that Echinacea can improve the symptoms of cold and flu, shortening the course of the illness in over 80% of people.
