A- Sage (قصعين) is accredited with a number of health beneficial effects.
1- When taken as a tea, sage has a calming effect on sweat glands and reduces perspiration. So it may be used to reduce sweating in the heat season and to alleviate menopausal hot flashes
2- Sage tea consumption may also improve the levels of lipids in the blood, by lowering
plasma LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol that causes plaques that block arteries) and total cholesterol levels
3- Anti-oxidant effects: The antioxidant properties of sage have been studied at length, and are attribuited to the presence of rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. In addition, salvianolic acid isolated from the sage extract, showed a high antioxidant activity and is a very significant scavenger of free radicals.
4- Alzheimer’s disease: Amongst many herbal extracts, Salvia species are known for the beneficial effects on memory disorders, depression, among others. Patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease who received sage extracts over a 4-month period had significant cognitive improvement over control subjects.
5- Skibenefits: when used as a compress, cream, or infusion, sage leaves may benefit some dermatologic conditions. A study showed that sage extract was as effective as a hydrocortisone cream in reducing ultraviolet radiation-induced erythema (skin redness)
6- Oral health: sage extract-based herbal gargles/mouthwash are useful for bleeding
gums, mouth ulcers, and bad breath (halitosis).
Adverse effects:
If consumed in large, chronic doses, sage may be harmful. It can also act as a stimulant for the muscles of the uterus, so it is not advisable to use sage during pregnancy. The essential oil of sage may causes seizures.
B- Ginger
The active components of the ginger root, the volatile oils and pungent phenol compounds
(such as gingerols and shogaols), are thought to impart a number of health benefits.
The most common and remarkably effective use of ginger is in the prevention and control of nausea and vomiting in cases of motion sickness, pregnancy, and cancer chemotherapy. It is also helpful in treating mild stomach upset, pain of osteoarthritis.
1- Motion Sickness: a good number of studies have found that ginger may be effective in reducing
some symptoms of motion sickness. However, other studies found that ginger does not work as well as medications for motion sickness.
2- Pregnancy-Related Nausea and Vomiting/ Hyperemesis gravidarum: studies conducted inhuman subjects suggest that 1g daily of ginger may reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant women when used for short periods (no longer than 4 days). Several studies have found that ginger is better than placebo in relieving morning sickness.
3- Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea: a few studies support the use of ginger to reduce the severity and duration of nausea (but not vomiting) in patients receiving chemotherapy. It is worth noting that one of the studies used ginger along with another anti-nausea drug, so the results are not really accurate.
4- Osteoarthritis: there is some evidence that ginger may help reduce pain from osteoarthritis, an
inflammatory disease of the small joints (mainly).
1- When taken as a tea, sage has a calming effect on sweat glands and reduces perspiration. So it may be used to reduce sweating in the heat season and to alleviate menopausal hot flashes
