An herbal remedy derived from the sage plant. Used traditionally and in some clinical studies to reduce hot flushes and night sweats in menopausal women.

Research Context

How does Sage work?
Not fully elucidated. Sage contains compounds including rosmarinic acid and flavonoids that may inhibit cholinesterase (affecting the autonomic nervous system) and have weak oestrogenic activity. The exact mechanism for vasomotor symptom reduction is unclear but may involve modulation of central thermoregulatory pathways.
