Oil of the Week: Clary Sage

The oil of the week this week is Clary Sage to go along with the energy of Kali-Ma.

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) is a bush with large hairy green leaves and tiny blue flowers. The oil comes from the steam distillation of those leaves and flowers.

The reason for the pairing this week is as we continue to dream and wish for bigger things we deserve, clary sage can support us with confidence, calm, and contentment while restoring clarity to our senses...promoting inspiration!

Physically, clary sage is great for female conditions such as PMS symptoms, irregularities, menopausal symptoms, and even varicose veins! Every month when I have cramps, I apply 1 drop to each of my inner ankles for relief. For these reasons, clary sage should not be used in pregnancy. It also provides respiratory support, skin health for issues such as those associated with aging, acne, boils, etc. It is also great for muscle aches and pains!

Emotionally, clary sage can provide emotional balancing associated with tension, fatigue, and sadness. When inhaled directly, diffused, or applied topically it can elicit feelings of calm, confidence, contentment, restoration and tranquility....can we say....ahhhhhhhhh :)

Energetically, clary sage is known to aid with providing prosperity to our spirit and supports the positive flow of inspiration! It is said to strengthen our Qi by increasing its' circulation, particularly in areas it has been stuck.

Continue to face those fears this week and project confidence with some clary sage on your side!

Happy oiling!
