      Plant properties

       

      • Antiperspirant (sweats of tuberculosis, chronic diseases)
      • Estrogenic, anti-galactogenic activity
        • Salvia officinalis tincture reduces the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and associated menopausal signs [2] , the putative estrogenic principle has been identified as luteolin-7-O-glucoside [3]
        • Sage increases the number of lobules (milk producing units) in the mammary gland [4] and thereby prepares the breast for lactation
        • Consumption of sage tea could improve female fertility via the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, by increasing serum levels of FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone hormones [5] , improves fertility in mice [6]
        • Sage reduces bone loss by inhibiting resorption in rats [7]
      • Powerful antioxidant activity ( flavonoids , rosmarinic acid ) [8] , [9] (use in charcuterie)
      • Antibacterial [10] and antifungal
      • Antiviral [11] , [12]
      • Analgesic and anti-inflammatory [13]
      • Antidiabetic [14]
      • Diterpenes ( carnosic acid and carnosol ) induce inhibition of pancreatic lipase enzyme activity and decreased postprandial elevation of triglycerides, leading to reduced weight gain [15] , neuroprotective [16] , anti-cancer [17]
      • Anti-mutagenic [18]
      • Improves memory in the elderly [19] , and cognitive functions in patients with Alzheimer's disease [20] , [21] , cholinesterase inhibition [22] , memory enhancement [23]
      • Strongly anti-asthenic due to essential oil and rosmarinic acid
      • Cardiac tonic and antiarrhythmic ( oleanolic acid , ursolic acid )
      • Topical anti-inflammatory ( ursolic acid ) [24]
      • Antiphlogistic in oral and pharyngeal affections, gingivitis, stomatitis
      • The aqueous extract inhibits the enzyme responsible for the collagenolytic activity of Porphyromonas gingivalis (responsible for canker sores)

       

      Bud properties

       

      Properties of essential oil

       

      • Attention, the HE is toxic (twice as much as that of absinthe ): 0.3 grams are enough to kill a dog
        • Convulsant: causes violent epileptiform seizures
        • Thujone may be antagonized by trans-anethole
      • Anticatarrhale, mucolytique, expectorante
      • Antibacterial [25] , against Gram-positive ( Staphylococcus aureus ) and Gram-negative ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) bacteria often responsible for nosocomial illnesses [26] , [27]
      • Antifungal [28]
      • estrogen-like ( salviol )
      • Healing
      • Lipolytique
      • Tonic and stimulating
      • Low dose hepatoprotective [29]

        • Estrogenic effects by overdose or prolonged use (more than 15 grams of leaves per dose)

        • Contraindication in case of hormone-dependent cancer (breast, ovary)
        • Toxicity described at high dose (0.5 g/ml) for oocytes [35]
        • Sage would prevent the biotransformation of tamoxifen into active product (inhibition of cytochrome CYP2D6?)

        • HE is strictly prohibited during pregnancy and in children (can cause epileptic seizures) [36]
        • Thujone causes tachycardia, hot flushes, convulsions, dizziness
