Ask a grandmother in the Karoo or a herbalist in Provence what to do about hot flushes and you may get the same answer: sage. The kitchen herb has one of the longest traditional records in women's health, and it's the reason a sage capsule sits in our Woman range.
The traditional case
Sage has been used for generations to support comfort through the change — particularly the sweats and flushes that make the menopause years feel like weather. European herbal practice kept the tradition alive long enough for modern formulations to standardise it into something you don't have to brew.
What we tell customers
Three honest things. First, sage is support, not a switch — women who benefit usually notice it over weeks of consistent use. Second, it pairs sensibly with the rest of the menopause toolkit: steady sleep habits, magnesium at night, and a doctor's guidance where symptoms are severe — HRT conversations belong with your GP, and sage can sit alongside that journey, not replace it. Third, if flushes arrive with other new symptoms, get checked before you supplement; that's counter policy and common sense.
Taking it
Label dose, with food, at whichever end of the day your flushes bother most. Our consultants have walked hundreds of women through this chapter — the conversation is free on WhatsApp.
