I love this essential oil but it gives me really weird dreams. You can enjoy by diffusing into the air or diluting and applying to skin, bath, or perfume.
Clary Sage is well known for its balancing properties. Used in PMS blends, it is thought to help with menopause and menstrual cramps due to its naturally occurring phytoestrogens. It is a warming, sedative, and an excellent nerve tonic that can induce a feeling of mild euphoria in some individuals. Clary Sage is an oil for overall well-being and is ideal for use on a regular basis in baths or perfumes. The herb derives its name from the Latin word clarus meaning “clear”, and was nicknamed “clear eye” during the Middle Ages for its famous ability to clear tired or strained eyes. Used in witch craft as a clairvoyant herb to help “see” and inducing vivid dreams and is known as a moon herb.
Clary Sage has also been used to treat bronchitis, cholesterol, hemorrhoids, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, intestinal cramps, and weak digestion – as well as depression, headaches, dandruff, insect bites, insomnia, kidney disorders, dry skin, ulcers and circulatory problems.
Just smelling it before bed is calming and stress-relieving, and can enhance your ability to dream.
As Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt notes in Advanced Aromatherapy, "Clary Sage impresses with its aroma. When applied to the wrists or temples, it is relaxing in a gentle, effective manner."
