HI,
For centuries common sage, or Salvia officinalis the Latin name, has been used as a reliable and safe natural herbal treatment for menopausal symptoms. Studies have shown that after three months of taking Sage, hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms can be improved greatly. Although there are no known side effects, the facial heat or redness can be due to allergy to sage. The facial heat can be a part of hot flashes. Consult your Doctor.
