Hot Flushes and Night Sweats

Sage & Raspberry Leaf Tea

NOT to be taken by pregnant women.

This is a simple recipe for hot flushes and night sweats. No one quite understand why Sage reduces sweating. It is believed that it may be due to its astringency, anti-inflammatory and hormone-regulating properties. Which means it can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing menopausal symptoms. Red raspberry leaves are traditionally used to balance female hormones. Make the tea either with fresh or dried leaves (if out of season) and drink throughout the day.
