10 incredible benefits of clary sage essential oil

We love, love, love clary sage essential oil at yogandha, and here’s why...

Clary sage magical properties are long recognised by us aromatherapists. In fact, the wonderful Maggie Tisserand sees clary sage as an indispensable essential oil - particularly for women of all ages and we just couldn’t agree more! (For those not in the know, Maggie Tisserand is an internationally recognised expert on the use of essential oils! We’re a fan…)

At yogandha, we use clary sage in several of our 100% natural and vegan aromatherapy oil blends for its powerful benefits. In this blog, we share 10 incredible benefits of clary sage essential oil.

 

Clary sage essential oil benefits

1. Clary sage for premenstrual syndrome

Because clary sage is believed to act on the pituitary gland it affects our hormones and is recommended for premenstrual tension. It is deeply relaxing and calming yet uplifting. If you are feeling tired, stressed and irritated this essential oil may just be the perfect balancer for you. 

Try our balance roller which gets its name from the mighty balancing power of clary sage)

2. Clary sage for period pain

Clary sage is definitely a female reproductive system helper and balancer. It is a must for any menstruating people. As an antispasmodic, it relieves cramps and period pains but it's also thought that clary sage works hormonally acting on the pituitary gland. 

If you'd like the benefits of both clary sage and lavender oil together - try relax body oil. Just massage gently onto tummy and lower back.

3. Clary sage in labour

Clary sage is one of the essential oils used in some maternity units to support labour and encourage regular contractions. It is also analgesic reducing pains.
