How often should I take it for it to take effect?Replied By Diana (Chelsea, Ma) on 05/21/2009
To Jake from Newark, NJ depends on your case. Experiment, if 1 cup of tea frist thing in morning doesn't help you than try in few hours one more. Also try ading sage to your food. I hope it helps.Replied By Carrie (Atlanta, GA) on 06/27/2009
I feel like I have found kindred spirits. I developed a sweating problem in my hairline, facial and neck area when I came to Atlanta five years ago from a colder and non-humid climate. I have clear flawless skin but would like to be able to wear a little make up without it melting off in the first 10 minutes. The temperature must be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit = 10 degrees Celsius for me not to perspire prior to leaving my home.
I am a female 29 of Jewish, Korean and West Indian descent. I do not excessively sweat except in those areas mentioned earlier. It normally takes me about 7 to 10 minutes to cool down. I do not sweat on my palms. And when I exercise I perspire normally like most people.
Part of my problem I think is anxiety...regardless of where I am going. I do not have an odor problem. I have ruined some blouses-under arms. In the coming weeks I will try some of the recommendations many of you have suggested. I will post my results.
A little background about me- I am running (3 miles-4 times a week) on a regular basis and also a little weight, rollerblading, Pilates, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding or hiking. I also like to swim. I refuse to allow my problem to get the best of me.
I normally take an ice cold drink (water) with me as I am leaving my home. I am a loner by nature. I have a few select group of friends. I think my problem has to do with social anxiety. For example, regardless of my destination I always breakout in a 3 to 5 minute sweat before leaving my home. I try to placate it by having the air conditioner or a small fan on in my bathroom. I mix aloe Vera gel in with my overall sun block and lotion after showering. On really humid days I have been known to take a discreet ice pack in a little drugstore bag and carry it against my waist or stomach if I am not driving. One would never know. It looks like I have purchased an item from a drugstore and simply carrying it.
I am very healthy. No thyroid problems. I am 5'3' and 98 pounds. I consume very little in processed, white sugar or fatty foods. I consume alot of fresh fruits, veggies, fish esp. those high in omega 3s, raw and non salted nor cooked nuts and seeds and only indulge once a week with things like chocolate, vanilla ice cream or the occasional steak.
QUESTIONS: Would someone please suggest a brand of Sage tea they have used? Please suggest measurements too.
I have researched the effects of the magnesium citrate. Does the Magnesium with zinc or plain magnesium work? What brand do you use? I am worried about the effects of the citrate.
Thanks in advance

I found sage tea bags for excessive sweating. For 10 years I have been embarrassed to work and socialize because sweat pours off my face, neck, and body down to my knees even in cold weather. I had my implants removed and after that I began to sweat profusely. Make-up will not stay on my face either because it just melts and runs off dripping onto my shirts. This tea I am using has sage, astragalus, St. John's Wort and Valarian and steep 3-5 minutes in 8oz hot water. I use distilled water & heat it on the stove and not the microwave. Drink 2 cups daily. It takes a few days to take effect. WARNING: It tastes awful but I add another kind of tea bag to help the taste and you can add sugar, honey and milk if you prefer. I prefer to make ice tea in the summer months and stay away from hot liquids totally.Replied By Mary (Columbus, Ga) on 09/26/2010
Please provide the tea you use with sage, astragalus, St. John's Wort and Valarian? I do not care what it tastes like nothing can smell or taste worse than apple cider vinegar & honey. Plus, I have used Valarian in the past for sleeping and know the fumes it gives off. Haha Thanks so much. Another question why distilled water and not just tap?Replied By Calvin (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) on 05/23/2011
@ Edy from Prescott Valley, AZ. I had the ETS surgery in San Antonio in June 2008 because my sweating from the head and arm pits were as bad as anyone can imagine. Since then the compensatory sweating is much worse, especially my abs, chest, back, legs, one arm pit and butt. I soak thru clothes all the time, some days losing 5-10 pounds of water. I noticed there is a company online that sells a tea with all of these ingredients and am thinking I will try it!Replied By Ben (Tel Aviv, Isarel) on 01/26/2012
Why cant you say the name of the tea? I'm not from usa.. Its Prohibited?Replied By Len (Qc, Philippines) on 02/01/2012
try to use your urine in the morning and let it dry ( hands, feet, underarms) for some minutes and rinse later. It will give amazing results on the sweaty areas. I am doing it with my hands and feet and I was amazed how it works. Try it.Replied By Citygirl27 (Richardson, Tx, Usa) on 06/23/2012
Everywhere I have looked, in the spice sections, I have only found ground, powdered sage, both organic and conventional. Is this OK to use (put in hot water to make a tea) for HH or do I need the sage sprigs? I haven't seen sage teabags anywhere yet and wouldn't it be just ordinary sage put in mesh teabag packaging? Not sure, looking for info or experiences. Thx.Replied By Mmsg (Somewhere, Europe) on 06/24/2012
Yes, Citygirl27, the sage from the spice section is fine for tea.
