The Profile

Clary Sage is a stout biennial herb with large, hairy, heart-shaped leaves and small blue-violet flowers. The name "Clary" is derived from the Latin sclarea, meaning "clear," leading to its medieval nickname "Clear Eye." The essential oil is colorless to pale yellow with a heavy, nutty, and herbaceous aroma that carries a sweet, earthy, musky undertone. It is widely considered one of the most important oils for women's health.

Therapeutic Actions

Anticonvulsant, Antidepressant, Antiphlogistic, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Aphrodisiac, Astringent, Carminative, Cicatrizant, Deodorant, Digestive, Emmenagogue, Hypotensive, Nervine, Sedative, Stomachic, Tonic, Uterine.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Acne, boils, dandruff, hair loss, and oily skin. It is excellent for balancing sebum and reducing inflammation.

·         Respiratory: Asthma and throat infections; it is particularly helpful for easing the anxiety and bronchial tension associated with asthma.

·         Digestive: Flatulence, gastric spasms, and slow digestion.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: High blood pressure (hypotensive) and muscular aches and pains. It acts as a profound relaxant for tight muscles.

·         Genito-Urinary: Amenorrhea (absent periods), dysmenorrhea (painful periods), labor pain, PMS, and menopausal symptoms (hot flushes).

·         Nervous System: Anxiety, depression, nervous tension, and panic attacks. It is famously euphoric and deeply relaxing.

Emotional Benefit

Clary Sage is the "Oil of Clarity and Vision." It helps to "clear the eyes" of the soul, allowing one to see beyond immediate stress and into the bigger picture. It is a powerful antidepressant that helps to lift the weight of melancholy and inspires creativity, intuition, and a sense of emotional freedom.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       Menstrual Cramp Massage: Mix 3 drops of Clary Sage and 2 drops of Lavender in a teaspoon of carrier oil. Massage onto the lower abdomen in a clockwise motion to relieve cramping and tension.

2.      Evening Euphoria Bath: Add 4 drops of Clary Sage to a warm bath (mixed with a tablespoon of milk or oil) to melt away a stressful day and promote deep relaxation before bed.

3.       Scalp Stimulant: Add 2 drops to your final hair rinse or a dollop of shampoo to help control an oily scalp and encourage healthy hair shine.

Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions

Avoid use during pregnancy, as it is a powerful emmenagogue that can stimulate uterine contractions (though it is often used by midwifes during active labor). Do not consume alcohol while using Clary Sage, as it can heighten the effects of the alcohol and lead to extreme nausea or vivid nightmares. Use in moderation; excessive use can lead to headaches.

Available sizes: 13ml
