What is Clary Sage Cut Stem Iphym Herboristerie Salvia sclarea used for?
Clary Sage Cut Stem is a natural product with multiple therapeutic properties, appreciated for centuries for its benefits to feminine and general health. The compounds present in this plant, such as flavonoids and triterpenes, act synergistically to offer a range of benefits from hormonal regulation to improved emotional well-being.
Clary Sage is particularly renowned for its estrogenimimetic effect, i.e. it mimics the action of estrogen in the body. Although not all the compounds responsible have been identified, the triterpenes present in sage have a molecular configuration close to that of estrogen. This similarity enables the plant to stimulate estrogen receptors α and β, thus contributing to hormonal regulation. It is often used to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats. In addition, its emmenagogic properties, which stimulate blood flow in the pelvic region, help regulate the menstrual cycle and ease period-related pain.
The flavones in Clary Sage play a key role in reducing muscle spasms, whether caused by acetylcholine or serotonin. This antispasmodic action is beneficial for people suffering from dysmenorrhea or digestive disorders. Internally, sage promotes better digestion by acting as a choleretic, facilitating the flow of bile and reducing indigestion and flatulence. Applied externally, it also has healing properties that accelerate the healing of superficial wounds and minor skin ailments.
Cut Clary Sage is a powerful source of antioxidants, thanks to the presence of diterpenes such as carnosic acid. These compounds help reduce lipid peroxidation and prevent cell damage. Carnosic acid and carnosol also demonstrate neuroprotective action, reducing oxidative stress and cell apoptosis. This ability to protect neurons is of great therapeutic interest, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity, sage helps preserve cognitive function and slow cognitive decline.
Clary sage is also known for its anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. It helps reduceexcess blood pressure in stressful situations, as demonstrated by a controlled clinical trial in women undergoing medical examinations. By regulating levels of the stress hormone cortisol, this plant helps to calm the nervous system, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. In addition, its modulating action on the dopaminergic system may explain the antidepressant effects observed in some studies.
Clary sage extract has notable antimicrobial properties. Rosmarinic acid, present in this plant, inhibits the formation of dental plaque and reduces the collagenolytic activity of certain bacteria responsible for periodontal pathologies, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. It is also effective against a range of pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. These properties make it an excellent ally for fighting minor infections and improving oral health.
Clary Sage is traditionally used to treat gynecological disorders such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and genital infections linked to hormonal insufficiency. It stimulates ovulation, which can be useful for women with irregular cycles or trying to conceive. The plant also has beneficial properties for the circulatory system. It helps reduce premenopausal symptoms, treats circulatory disorders such as varicose veins and hemorrhoids, and can even help lower blood cholesterol levels.
