Aromatherapy Share: Essence of the Week - Clary Sage (Salvia sclerea)...

Clary Sage is a Certified Organic flower essence from France that was written about in the 4th Century BCE as a healing plant. In Latin, Clary Sage means "clear", and she is the key ingredient in "Eye Bright" that helps to clear the eyes. She is used as a flavoring in many foods, and is part of wine and beer production, among many other things.

Clary Sage is a powerful hormone balancer, uterine tonic, and kidney aid. She helps the reproductive organs as a urogenital aid. PMS, menopause, and impotence are all addressed by Clary Sage. She is also anti-fungal and great for the skin and acne, wrinkles, and oily skin as a cellular regenerator. Clary Sage is a wonderful ally for the elderly, as she helps with circulation, pain, cramps, gas, constipation, and immunity. The lungs and issues like asthma and whooping cough can be soothed by her healing energies. She helps the body release past drug usage and brings clarity to the mind, body, and soul.

Energetically, Clary Sage helps us let go of rigidity, fear, and paranoia. She addresses depression so we can find our Love for life once again. Clary Sage teaches tolerance and the ability to let go of emotional pain in order to bring clarity and harmony. She is a gentle guide toward better decision-making.

For the reproductive organs, anoint below the belly button and above the pelvic bone and the lower back. She can also be anointed onto the wrists and neck to get into the blood stream directly. Five to ten drops, two to three times a day, for one hundred twenty days is a great start to the healing process. Use intuition and listen to the body. She is a powerful ally and a wonderful healing aid on the journey to wellness.
