Latin: Salvia officinalis
English: Sage
German: Salbei
In which areas is the sage plant recommended?
It is helpful and supportive for tonsillitis, pharyngitis, chronic pharyngitis and gingivitis.
I know many people who have suffered from tonsillitis for years. School-age children in particular stay in bed for days with high fever and fall behind in class due to tonsillitis. In these cases, mouthwashes with sage are a real help. Sage is also a real protector and preventer against the development of tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis.
A sage mouthwash that you use several times a day in the first few days will make you feel like you have been reborn. If you repeat this mouthwash several times a week in the following days, you will protect yourself against tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
The first word of the Latin name sage, "salvia", means to protect, protect and preserve. Salvin, carnosic acid and cirsimaritin, which are contained in sage, are active ingredients with antibiotic properties. In particular, salvin and carnosic acid affect RNA synthesis in bacteria, preventing their proliferation and regeneration. Another important essential oil found in sage is cineole. Cineole is a cough suppressant. In short, sage is both a natural antibiotic and a natural cough suppressant.
In addition, the active ingredients with antibiotic properties in sage are water-soluble substances. Due to their water-soluble properties, they offer the possibility of brewing them directly in hot water without making alcohol tinctures. Most mouthwashes must be prepared with a little alcohol. Since the active ingredient with natural antibiotic properties found in many plants does not dissolve in water, they cannot be effective when prepared with water. Since the natural antibiotics contained in sage are very water-soluble, they allow it to be prepared as a mouthwash, especially for your children, by simply brewing it in hot water.
The point I want to emphasize here is that there are over thirty known sage varieties in our country. Most of them are wild. The mouthwash of some wild sage species may not be as effective as desired. Therefore, when buying sage from the market, be careful not to buy wild sage. If you are unsure about this, you can use packaged sage from various manufacturers, which is available in some large supermarkets.
Did you know?
Sage has been used as a pesticide throughout history. Since sage is a parasite repellent, parasites and insects cannot approach sage. For this reason, in ancient times and in subsequent centuries, the leaves and stems of sage were sprinkled as pesticides in areas where vegetables and cereals were grown.
Tonsillitis (tonsillitis)
Inflammation of the tonsils, also called tonsils, caused by bacteria and, less frequently, viruses, is called tonsillitis. The most common symptom is severe pain when swallowing, mixed with ear pain. This pain manifests itself in a refusal to eat in young children. In addition to pain, high fever, fatigue, headache and vomiting are also common symptoms.
When people with tonsillitis get up in the morning, their bad breath is quite strong. After brushing their teeth, the smell becomes a little lighter and disappears completely after breakfast. There is no bad breath throughout the day. This is because the inflammation that occurs at night is transmitted through food during the morning breakfast. However, when you go to sleep at night, the inflammation starts again.
Gargling once every day after cleaning your mouth is a powerful inhibitor of bacteria in the mouth and bad breath. Normally, you should prepare sage mouthwash and keep it away from your sink. The prepared sage mouthwash can be left on the shelf of your sink for three days without spoiling.
In some cases, tonsillitis and/or sore throats can become chronic. In chronic tonsillitis or chronic sore throats, sage is not enough. Read more about the hibiscus plant for chronic tonsillitis or chronic pharyngitis.
Attention
Those suffering from sore throats and tonsil problems should avoid cigarettes and acidic drinks (such as cola, lemonade, mineral water) while applying the cures. In parallel, attention must be paid to cleaning the teeth and mouth. Be sure to brush your teeth after meals. After brushing your teeth, be sure to use the mouthwashes indicated in the applications.
At this point I would like to explain a point that parents with school-age children should pay attention to. Pharyngitis in childhood is a common disease that is often ignored by parents. Do not forget that a sore throat that may seem like a simple situation to you can have serious consequences and you should definitely consult your doctor.
Acute rheumatic fever (ARA)
Acute rheumatic fever (ARA), ?beta microbe? It is an inflammatory disease that occurs a few weeks after pharyngitis caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus or scarlet fever, which is also caused by the same microorganism. It is common in school-age children. About four out of a hundred people develop acute rheumatic fever (ARA) after a streptococcal infection. There is no rule that ARA develops after every pharyngitis. However, caution should be exercised with what appears to be a simple sore throat due to the risk that ARA can cause serious heart damage.
Unlike other organ damage, inflammation of the heart can cause permanent damage. The tissue of the heart, called the endocardium, covers the inside of the heart and the heart valves. As the lesions on the heart valves heal, the heart valves thicken, stick together and shrink. The result is valve stenosis and/or insufficiency. Rheumatic fever is the most common cause of heart valve disease. Rheumatic heart disease can develop about ten to fifteen years after the disease. Therefore, do not neglect any sore throat or throat discomfort in your school-age children and have them see a doctor.
Sage is a tea that has been widely consumed in our country in recent years. However, pregnant women should use sage with caution during the first three months of their pregnancy. If there is a risk of miscarriage, you should definitely stay away from sage. This is because sage leaves contain four substances that increase the risk of miscarriage. The names of these substances are listed in the table below. It is wrong for pregnant women to take medicines without consulting their doctor and choose herbal treatment methods independently.
Dear reader, the first trimester of pregnancy is very important. Do not use medicines and herbal treatment methods that you do not know without consulting your doctor. It is a common view that herbal medicines do not have side effects in our country. This view is not correct. Before using unknown and unfamiliar plants, be sure to get information from people or organizations who are knowledgeable in this field. Since many plants in Turkey have different names depending on the region, it is often difficult to get the right plant you want or to be sure that the plant you buy is the right plant.
Beta-bisabolene in thyme and oleanolic acid in rosemary are also active ingredients that increase the risk of miscarriage.
Protects against tonsillitis and pharyngitis
A bag of sage or a teaspoon of fresh sage is brewed in about a glass of water for ten minutes with the mouth closed. Gargle two to three times a day.
In addition, drink a tea glass of sage every day for a month. After the brewing time has elapsed, do not leave the plant in the water any longer; strain and separate it. The prepared mouthwash can stay in your bathroom cabinet for forty-eight hours without spoiling.
USE THE RIGHT PLANT!
The most important thing to consider when using all these remedies is: is the shelf life of the plant. The second reason is that the plant was collected at the right time. The third point is how the plant is dried. Depending on the characteristics of each plant, it should be dried in appropriate conditions. Some plants need to be planted in the shade, some in the sun, and some in the dark. The most important thing is that the plant you use is absolutely of the right kind. If it is not the right type of plant, the effect of the treatment will be significantly reduced.
Note: If your doctor prescribes medication, you should definitely use it. Use the application here as a supporter. First of all, you need to know whether you are allergic to the plant you want to use. Get your doctor's opinion on this. Regardless of your complaint, do not attempt to self-medicate with the information provided here without going to a doctor and getting a diagnosis.
