Death Begins in the Intestines
Instructions:
- Prepare Sage: If using fresh sage, rinse the leaves under cold water and chop them roughly to release more flavor and oils.
- Steep the Sage: Place the sage leaves in a cup and pour boiling water over them. Cover and let it steep for about 5-10 minutes.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the tea to remove the leaves. You can add a teaspoon of honey or lemon for flavor if desired.
- Enjoy: Drink sage tea once or twice a day, especially after meals, to aid digestion and promote gut health.
Precautions
- Avoid Excessive Consumption: While sage is beneficial, excessive consumption can be harmful due to thujone, a compound found in sage. Stick to a few cups of sage tea a day, or use it moderately as a culinary herb.
- Pregnancy and Nursing: Pregnant and nursing women should consult a healthcare provider before using sage as a remedy.
- Medical Conditions: People with certain medical conditions, especially those related to hormones like estrogen-sensitive conditions, should consult health professionals before incorporating substantial amounts of sage into their diet.
Sage is not just a culinary herb; it’s a medicinal powerhouse that can significantly benefit your gut health and overall well-being. By understanding and utilizing the properties of sage, you can take an active step towards maintaining a healthy digestive system and improving your life quality.
