Tracy shares insights on how Sage can be used as an antibacterial throat spray, a digestive aid, and even a remedy for anxiety.
 
Key takeaway points include:
1. Sage is a herbal ally for women, particularly menopausal and perimenopausal women, helping to reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of hot flashes through its balancing properties on bodily fluids and neurotransmitters.
2. The antibacterial and pain-relieving properties of Sage make it an effective remedy for sore throats. The combination of pain relief, a reliever of gas and an ability to mop up excess fluid; means Sage can help with digestive issues like diarrhoea, bloating, and IBS D. It also supports liver health and can help reduce nervous tension and anxiety. We share the research that supports this in the episode.
3. However, caution is advised with prolonged and high-dose use of Sage due to its thujone content, making it unsuitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those with epilepsy. Sage can be enjoyed in various forms, from teas to tinctures, adding aromatic notes to dishes, and even making antibacterial honey.
