Sage leaf capsules
by: Bjorn

Hi!

In Sweden we have this product called NoSweat. It contain 60 Capsules Sage Leaf and should be used three times/day. I've just started using them so I don't know how much affect it will have..

I've found what seems to be the same product as NoSweat on amazon.com. Search for "120 Capsules Sage Leaf".

Hope this helps

To Chris
by: Cathy

Hey Chris.

Thank you very much for your help. That formula is recommemded by some german websites/articles referring to exessive sweating. But I'm quite sure, that they suggest this short period of sage drinking just because to be careful with Thujon.
I heard different opinions about Thujon, and I think that sagetea (if it's used in the right way, like you describe it) is safe, whereas if you take sagetea-extract (based on alkohol)or essential sage oil for a longer time can be really dangerous, because of a higher concentracion of thujon.

I don't want to drink the sagetea in cycles to make it more effective, but for other reasons. But it would take time to explain and go beyond the scope of this commend ;)But it has something to do with woman's ovulation.. (sage possible regulates it; but if a female reads this, don't worry about it, especially if you never worried about your ovulation yet. You can drink sage every day, just in my case, I would like it drink in cycles.)
If someone wanna know, of course, I'm willing to explain..

Bye, Cathy

Treating Excessive Sweating and Hyperhidrosis With Sage Tea
by: Anonymous

Hello Cathy,

Thanks for your question about sage tea as a potential hyperhidrosis treatment.

You can drink sage tea safely as a treatment for excessive sweating for as long as you’d like. The only thing you have to be careful with (with regard to this “Thujon”) is the amount of time that you steep an individual pot of tea.

If you allow the sage to steep in the tea for an extended period of time, then it releases a toxin called Thujon that is potentially dangerous.

I wouldn’t let the sage seep in the water for any more than ten minutes or so before drinking.

I’ve never heard of that specific formula you’re describing with two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off. Where’d you hear about that?

What I do know is that herbal remedies for hyperhidrosis do take time to have an effect. The best results are obtained from consistent, continual use.

I’m not sure if staggering your consumption of the tea like that, in cycles, would be more effective. I imagine that so long as you do several cycles, it will be effective.
If I were you, I’d probably just drink a cup or two a day. And I’d cool it before drinking.

Hope this helps.
