Sage: description, properties, application. Video
The fact that sage has a beneficial effect on women was known even in Ancient Egypt. Doctors of that era ordered Egyptians to add leaves and flowers of a medicinal plant to food and drink an infusion from it in order to increase fertility. Centuries have passed, but sage herb and its female health benefits are still relevant. Moreover, the indications for use have expanded significantly.
Already for this property alone – the ability to provide assistance in the treatment of infertility – sage can be erected on a pedestal. The secret of this unique plant is that it contains phytohormones that are very similar in composition to the female hormone estrogen. It is this hormone that is “responsible” for the formation and successful development of the follicle. Sage infusion increases the level of natural estrogen in a woman’s body and restores the ovarian-menstrual cycle. If a woman regularly takes a medicinal drink, she activates (or recovers) the “suction” reflex of the uterus. As a result, a long-awaited pregnancy occurs, the family grows – this is happiness for a woman.
There is also a positive “side effect” – getting rid of frigidity: a woman learns what passion and pleasure from intimacy with a partner is, and this in some way (albeit indirectly) also affects the increase in fertility …
When treating infertility, sage infusion is taken according to the scheme: start taking on the 5th day from the onset of menstruation and continue drinking until ovulation, i.e. within 10-11 days. The recommended course is 90 days. If there is no positive result, rest for a month, and then conduct a new 90-day course.
Recipe for infertility infusion. Take 1 tsp. chopped sage leaves and cover with a glass of boiling water. Cover with a napkin and let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Strain, take 50 ml (1/4 cup) 3-4 times during the day before meals. Brew a fresh batch every day.
Keep in mind: the statement that it is impossible to harm health with herbal medicine is a dangerous delusion.
So, in case of infertility, sage should be used very carefully, after consulting a doctor first. A complete understanding of what happens under its influence in the body is necessary. Sage is indicated exclusively for those women in whose body there is a lack of their own estrogen (and this can only be found out with the help of tests). An excess of this hormone is fraught with the fact that the follicle may burst ahead of time. In addition, sage is contraindicated in endometriosis and fibroids. If you feel unwell during fertility treatment, stop taking the infusion immediately and consult your doctor.
