Hilde Hemmes Herbal's Sage

Historical use of sage can be attributed to its thujone-rich essential oil which has antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral actions. It is included in many gastrointestinal remedies for the relief of indigestion symptoms such as bloating, fullness, heartburn, abdominal pain and nausea. 
Studies have shown that sage tea can help reduce excessive perspiration making it useful for night sweats. Gargling releives symptoms of laryngitis, tonsillitis, sore throats, painful gums and mouth ulcers.
