Anyone tried Sage?
Jenna:
There is also a warning about sage under the 'Natural Alternatives to HRT' section on this site:
"SAGE This herb can be taken as a tea or as an extract in tablet form to help with hot flushes. There are studies ongoing into its effectiveness but does seem to have a regulating effect on hormones. Caution with HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE and if taking TAMOXIFEN"

Hi, I am very new to the forum and great to be able to stories that I can relate to and share my,own experiences.
I have just finished taking my first 60 ‘Sage Leaf Extract' tablets by SOLGAR with a combination of sage tea brewed from fresh sage leaves. I can't say my hot flushes have completely disappeared, but I don't get as many episodes as I used to. However, I have also been taking Cleanmarine Menomin capsules, which have krill oil blended with B vitamins, Folate, Biotin and Soya Isoflavones. The other vitamin I take is vitasorb B12 liquid vitamin. I don't drink alcohol anymore as it triggers my hot flushes.
I had to have a blood test two weeks ago as I felt that my hot flushes were becoming a nuisance. The results revealed that my Serum FSH level value is 60 (high). Have been prescribed HRT tablets - which I am not keen to take and have tried taking a couple of tablets and had bad side effects.
The point is having taken a range of natural tablets I am still getting hot flushes. But do try Sage and see how it might help you. ;)
P.S. Harry Bear is one of my favourite bear

Well I'm delighted to report that my hot flushes seem to be fewer and milder after around ten days of taking Ultra Sage, which means I am only waking once or twice a night now! Fingers crossed!

I tried ultra sage on the unofficial recommendation of my menopause consultant. I found it worked really well for about 6 weeks and then the effect seemed to just stop and I was back to square one.
Hope it works for you, I tend to find herbal alternatives only offer temporary relief but hey relief is relief
