Sage Menopause Tea

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a powerful medicinal plant that offers natural support during menopause. It reduces excessive sweating and hot flashes thanks to its estrogenic flavonoids. This pungent, aromatic member of the mint family also improves mood and cognition, supports digestion, and soothes inflamed mucus membranes. It has antioxidant and bitter properties and an astringent aftertaste. NutraTea herbalists formulated NutraMeno tea with Sage as a natural daily tonic to support you during menopause and perimenopause. Sage is here to reduce discomfort during your transformation into a wise elder.

• Carnosolic acid
• Phenolic acids 
• Salviatannin
• Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper

Fewer Hot Flashes with Sage

Estrogenic flavonoids empower sage tea to dramatically reduce menopausal sweating and hot flashes. Its astringent properties are strongly antiperspirant.  This study observed that when menopausal women who experienced at least five hot flashes every day began to consume sage daily, they reported a 50% decrease in hot flashes within 4 weeks and a 64% decrease within 8 weeks. As many as 80% of women will experience hot flashes during the transition into and during menopause. As estrogen levels decline, the hypothalamus is disrupted in its function as the body’s natural thermostat. Small changes in body temperature cause blood vessels to dilate, which creates a “hot flash,” or an uncomfortably hot feeling that spreads throughout the body from the face and upper chest. Hot flashes last between a few seconds to a few minutes. Often, they occur in the night (“night sweats”). Hot flashes can include sweating, red skin, a pounding heart, dizziness, anxiety, and headaches.

Drink NutraMeno tea daily to reduce this uncomfortable symptom of your body recalibrating for an exciting new phase of life. Drink before bed to specifically target night sweats.

Mood and Cognition 

Sage is a traditional brain-enhancing remedy backed up by modern science. It improves memory, mood, and protects against neurodegenerative diseases. It fights anxiety, depression, and impaired memory, which can occur during menopause. Its antioxidant and antiinflammatory active constituents, phenolic compounds such as rosmarinic acid, arnosic acid, quercetin, salvianolic acid, sagecoumarin and sagerinic acid, protect and improve memory and learning performance. It scavenges free radicals and prevents oxidative stress. Chronic oxidative stress is one cause of mental health disorders and neurodegenerative disorders. NutraMeno tea is neuroprotective and emotionally comforting thanks to the presence of Sage.

Digestive Support 

Sage is a powerful carminative culinary herb, supporting normal digestion. Sage is often added to meat dishes to help prevent or alleviate flatulence, constipation, bellyaches, and other digestive stagnation. This is due to its antimicrobial essential oils and tannins, which kill harmful pathogens, and its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, which relieve painful stomach cramps. Its antimicrobial properties make it useful for promoting oral health, preventing the dental plaque that causes tooth decay.

It’s In The Name

Salvia officinalis comes from the Latin word meaning “to heal.” The ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks used Sage in cooking and as a purifying smoke. It’s still used this way today, and modern science confirms Sage possesses antibacterial and antiviral properties. Sage is a shrub-like plant that grows almost a foot tall. Its slender leaves are covered in extremely fragrant green-grey velvety down. Rub the leaves between your fingers to release their essential oils. It blooms from June to July with blue-violet labiate flowers that seem to stretch toward you. Sage naturally grows in the warm Mediterranean, but it can withstand cold winters, so it has been naturalized around the world. In the Bible, when the Virgin Mary fled Egypt with the baby Jesus, she hid from Herod under a Sage bush.
