Ive been experimenting with Sage tea recently. Originally i read that Sage can lower TGF-beta so i wanted to try it for helping against male pattern baldness.
But ive started noticing some strong anti estrogenic effects. I definitely have issues with estrogen and I am slightly overweight and often have a bloated stomach. If i drink sage tea, the bloat is noticably smaller to the point where people are commenting on it. The only other thing that had a similar effect like this was Exemestane - an irreversible aromatase inhibitor i.e. estrogen blocker.
I know peat and haidut generally suggest to be very careful with phytoestrogens but Sage is showing some very positive properites for me at least.
other benefits ive noticed:
- strong cognitive boost
- better focus
- relaxing effect suggesting some GABA- promoting properties
- more resilient in stressful situations
Usual estrogenic traits, at least for me, are weak bladder, bloating, palpitations, inability to handle stress, and sage tea is actually having the opposite effect.
some interesting articles i came across on sage (Salvia officinalis)
This article suggests Sage has anti-diabetic properties:
