Sweaty Betty

I haven't tried sage tea yet, I don't have access to anywhere that sells it. The French love herbal teas, but they are usually fruit flavoured or just plain uninventive. But I'll be back in the UK (and working!) soon... so I'll let you know then.

I'd look at the kitchen herbs in stead of the tisane department, if you haven't done so yet. You're sure to find sage there (French do use it, don't they?).

Good luck, Jandra

Yep, I should think so, the bloke who told me about it´s properties was a french professor of naturopathy! You may even be able to buy it fresh in the market.

There was a doctor talking about this on the One Show (BBC1) a month or so back. One thing that can be done to stop excess sweating is botox injections in the armpits ( ) and the other thing was really amazing.

There is some method of passing some sort of electric current through the body (I really can't remember what it was all about - a bit techy for me) but the lady in question had the most incredibly sweaty palms and she put her hands in a bowl of water whilst electric stimulus (or something) was pased through this water and hey presto - it worked completely!!! I think she had to repeat the treatment but better that botox jabs in the pits I should think!!!

Maybe you could google the One Show and see if they have the details there?

I don't know, my main problem is that I only have access to corner shops, where sage isn't stocked (I don't think it's that popular out here)... the large supermarkets are outside town, and I'm really living on a shoestring, so I can't justify going out to the suburbs to hunt it down. Same for the markets... I don't use them because they are more expensive (I guess it's not easy to get fresh fruit and veg into town), but I'm still keeping an eye out... and I'll be in good old Blighty in 3 weeks anyway!
