Clary Sage Essential Oil: The Hormone Whisperer and Confidence Booster

What exactly is clary sage essential oil, and why should you care?

Clary sage essential oil comes from the flowering tops and leaves of Salvia sclarea, a gorgeous herb with purple-pink flowers that looks like regular garden sage's glamorous cousin. This isn't your Thanksgiving stuffing sage - clary sage is the sophisticated one that went to Europe, learned about balance and wisdom, and came back with some serious therapeutic powers.

The Clary Sage Backstory

Medieval monks called it "Clear Eye" because they used it to clear vision problems (hence "clary"). European women have been using clary sage for centuries to support their natural cycles and feel more like themselves. It was so valued that it was often called "muscatel sage" and used to flavor wines and spirits - basically, it made everything better.

What Makes Clary Sage Special and Why Your Hormones Love It

Aromatherapy Benefits:

• Hormonal balance support - Helps you feel more centered during monthly fluctuations

• Confidence boost - Perfect for those "I've got this" moments

• Stress relief - Melts away tension like warm honey

• Emotional clarity - Helps you trust your instincts and inner wisdom

Clary sage contains sclareol and linalyl acetate, compounds that interact with your body's natural systems to promote balance and calm confidence. It's like having a wise friend who reminds you that you already have everything you need inside you.

Safety Notes

Clary sage is generally safe but should be avoided during pregnancy. It's not photosensitive, so no sun worries.

Aropothecary always dilutes to or below international safety standards, so you can use our clary sage-containing blends with confidence.

Even so, always patch test first to make sure your skin doesn't react, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
