Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

The use of Salvia species, particularly Salvia officinalis (common sage), for digestive ailments such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is primarily rooted in traditional medicine rather than robust scientific evidence. Historical records from European and Mediterranean herbal practices mention the use of sage to alleviate indigestion, bloating, and intestinal discomfort. Its purported carminative, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties have led to its inclusion in traditional remedies for various gastrointestinal complaints, including those resembling IBS symptoms.

However, modern clinical trials specifically investigating Salvia spp. for IBS are lacking. Most available scientific literature focuses on the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and general digestive-soothing properties of sage, without directly addressing its efficacy in IBS populations. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that sage extracts may modulate gut motility and reduce inflammation, which could theoretically benefit IBS symptoms, but these findings have not been robustly translated into clinical practice.

In summary, the use of Salvia for IBS is based more on traditional use and anecdotal evidence than on well-established scientific validation. Patients and practitioners interested in this approach should be aware of the limited direct evidence and consult with healthcare professionals before use.
