Herbal Tea for Menopause w/ Common Wormwood & Sagebrush / 

Sagebrush

Medicinal

The plant's active medicinal constituents include camphor, terpenoids, and tannins.

The plant is antirheumatic, antiseptic, digestive, disinfectant, febrifuge, ophthalmic, poultice and sedative. A decoction of the leaves is used in the treatment of digestive disorders and sore throats. An infusion of the fresh or dried leaves is used to treat pneumonia, bad colds with coughing and bronchitis.

We know there are two types of potent chemicals in this sagebrush: monoterpenoids and flavonoids.

In general, the flavonoids act as an anti-inflammatory while the monoterpenoids help relieve pain.

These monoterpenoids, like camphor and pinene, also contribute to the strong, sage-y aroma that emanates from this particular sagebrush.
