What Are The Medicinal Benefits Of Using Sage?

Sage contains oils that are antiseptic, astringent, and also estrogenic.  In Germany, Sage has been used to make anti-perspirants.  

Sage tea is useful in treating sore throats and mouth irritations.  As a compress, it is often used in the treatment of cuts and bruises.

Experiments done in 1939 in the United States revealed that Sage has the ability to mimic estrogen in the bodies of post- and peri-menopausal women.  Sage taken on a dialy basis will regulate the periods of these women and delay the onset of other menopausal symptoms, such as lack of sex drive.
