CLARY SAGESalvia sclarea, France , ORGANIC, steam distilled flowering tops. Clary Sage is a necessary oil for every woman. It helps ease menstrual cramps, balances
PMS, eases the pangs of menopause. No woman is too young or too old to appreciate the balance it brings
us. Add its hormonal properties which can help balance menstrual and menopausal difficulties to Geranium for almost
any sort of 'female problems' both physical and emotional. One friend says she uses organic Clary Sage blended
in honey in her morning tea to help regulate irregular periods.
Others swear by its use to ease hot flashes and other menopausal
difficulties. (Clary Sage is available in all of our synergies made
just for women. You can view the blends on our
blends just for women page). |

For skincare, Clary Sage can inhibit excessive perspiration, and may be useful in treating very greasy scalp conditions. Clary can balance extreme emotions, reducing stress and restore inner tranquility. It can produce a state of euphoria and has been used as an aphrodisiac. I find it wonderful for any stress related disorder. Many friends use it to combat depression. Equal amounts of Clary Sage, Lavender and Ylangylang Complete make a wonderfully feminine stress relieving diffuser or aromalamp blend. |

| sthma: I have seen Clary recommended, blended with Frankincense, for the treatment of Asthma. The source recommended adding 3 drops of each essential oil to 10 mls of carrier oil or cream and using it as a chest rub. It's believed that the Clary Sage will both relax the bronchial spasm and reduce the anxiety and emotional tension that so often accompanies an asthma attack. (I would consider adding Litsea Cubeba to this mixture, since it is also a bronchial antispasmodic.) | ||||||||||

Clary is also recommended for "lucid dreams" I never thought I would find a nicer Clary Sage than the Bulgarian Clary that we used to offer. Some of you know that I searched for years for a source after first experiencing it. My French mentor sent me a sample of this 2006 Organic distillation and it was love at first sight (or sniff?) The softest, fullest richest Clary Sage I have ever encountered. |
