In this study, researchers from Germany and Switzerland explored the mechanism behind the effects of Salvia officinalis (common sage) on hot flashes and excessive sweating during menopause, with focus on neurologic impulse transmission. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the alcoholic extract of S. officinalis works by modulating neuro-receptors and serotonin transporters to normalize thermoregulation and mental impairment during menopause.
