While sage is beneficial, it’s important to exercise caution:
- Avoid Excessive Consumption: Excessive consumption of sage can be harmful due to the compound thujone. 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.
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you have certain medical conditions, especially hormone-related conditions like estrogen-sensitive conditions, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional before incorporating substantial amounts of sage into your diet.
