Sage Tea and Hot Flashes

After taking hormones for the better part of 20 years I finally decided enough. I stopped them and WOW the hot flashes were as bad as they were 20 years ago. I had read more than once about drinking sage tea for relief but never tried it nor did I really believe it would work. WELL, they were so bad I decided anything was worth trying, so off to the health store I went. The article I read suggested drinking two or three cups a day so I thought ok here goes. WELL much to my surprise I did sleep better and noticed a big difference in the severity of the miserable flashes. I drank at least three cups in the beginning and settled down to two cups a day unless I was experiencing a lot then I would increase to three or even more cups a day if necessary. I was VERY surprised the tea worked but it has helped me a LOT.

I must say it does not taste really well until one gets used to the flavor, but now it seems like any other hot tea. I have even iced it down and mixed it with different drinks.

I hope it works for others as well as it worked for me.
