Sage is believed to calm the nerves that produce sweat. Field tests showed that it is an effective remedy for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
History shows that sage has been used since the first century by the Greek physician Dioscorides for the relief of mouth and throat disorders. Its name is derived from the Latin salvere (to be saved).
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 and sweaty palms. Gargling releives symptoms of laryngitis, tonsillitis, sore throats, painful gums and mouth ulcers.
