Herbal medicine: sage proven to improve memory and may help Alzheimer's patients
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The medicinal herb sage is being shown to significantly boost memory. It's yet another bit of evidence joining the overwhelming collection of scientific studies supporting the use of herbs for healing.
New research has proved that sage can improve memory, confirming centuries-old theories. British scientists have carried out the first clinical trials with healthy, young adults and found that those who had taken sage oil capsules performed significantly better in a word recall test. The team, from the Medicinal Plant Research Centre (MPRC) at the Universities of Newcastle and Northumbria, have provided scientific evidence for claims dating back centuries. Sage is being investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's Disease after earlier research by the MPRC found that it inhibits an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE) which breaks down the chemical messenger acetylcholine.
