Sage (salvia officinalis)- 100 caps
The oils and tannins in sage have astringent, antiseptic and irritant properties. It is therefore an important herb in medications for mouth sores, mouth ulcers, and sore throat medications.
Sage is reported to have mouth-drying properties, so is therefore useful for both reducing excess perspiration or salivation, menopausal hot flushes and drying up breast milk. It can also be used as a compress on cuts and wounds.
Therapeutic Use
A herb traditionally used for the relief of excessive sweating and perspiration. May also be used as a gargle (when prepared as directed) for the relief of mouth ulcers and minor throat irritations.
Active Ingredients
Each ‘preservative free’ capsule contains 400mg of Salvia officinalis leaf powder.
Dosage
For adults: take two to three capsules with a meal twice daily. Mouthwash or gargle: open two capsules, add one cup of boiling water. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes. Strain, use when warm.
Caution
Always read the label. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.
