The Introduction of Clary Sage Extract
The herb has a long history of use in food and medicine. In Mediterranean cultures it was used internally to treat excessive menstrual bleeding, increase fertility, aid memory, reduce symptoms of arthritis, and reduce breast engorgement during weaning. It was used topically for treatment of wounds, sprains, and muscle injuries, and as a gargle for sore throat, hoarseness, and cough.
A double-blind study of 286 people found that a throat spray made using sage at a 15% concentration significantly reduced sore throat pain as compared to placebo.
In double-blind trials performed in Iran, 42 people with Alzheimer’s disease were given either a sage extract or placebo for 4 months. 1 The results appeared to suggest a modest improvement in mental function in the sage group as compared to the placebo group.
The Functions of Clary Sage Extract
Anti-inflammatory
The potent anti-inflammatory effects of sage extract help in treating inflammation in the stomach and digestive system. Also, skin inflammations may also be aided through the direct application of sage extract. Sage also detoxifies the blood when any toxic substances enter the bloodstream or when eating spicy foods.
Respiratory help
Asthma attacks and congestion due to mucus that may occur in a one’s airways may be relieved by inhaling sage extract vapors. Sage extract and water is mixed and heated creates a healing steam. Inhaling this steam guards against secondary infection because the medicinal properties of sage extract clear the congestion and helps remove any excess mucous.
Antioxidants
Many people are aware of the advantages associated with antioxidants. From cancer prevention to heart disease prevention, antioxidants are vital for a healthy body. Sage extract is a good source of various antioxidants like labiatic acid and carnosic acid. The antioxidant effect of sage extract helps in the preservation of foods, especially fish.
Excessive sweating
Embarrassing excessive sweating affects a person’s confidence and can cause someone to become self conscious, especially in large gatherings. Taking sage extract either in its tablet or tea forms helps to treat both generalized and localized types of hyperhidrosis.
Even though consuming sage extract is beneficial for the body, it may cause dizziness, rapid heartbeat and convulsion if taken in excess amounts.
Sage is used for digestive problems, including loss of appetite, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. It is also used for reducing overproduction of perspiration and saliva; and for depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease.
