Clary Sage is a favorite among aromatherapists for its earthy, fruity and floral aroma that is both nutty and herbaceous as well as its many benefits. If the aroma isn’t your favorite to start with, chances are it will grow on you. Clary Sage is also an excellent alternative for those who can’t do Lavender. It has both calming properties and a comparable floral aroma for your aromatic blends. The goodness doesn’t stop there! Let’s take a look.

Calming and Balancing

One of the main chemical constituents in Clary Sage is Linalyl Acetate, which has calming and grounding properties. This same constituent is found in other calming oils like Bergamot, Lavender, and Petitgrain. Because of this, Clary Sage is most known for is its ability to help create a calming, balancing and relaxing atmosphere. This is especially great for helping gain some emotional balance when it feels like your emotions are running away with you. And while it helps calm, it’s not as sedating as Lavender.

Hair, Skin, and Nails

For gorgeous hair, skin, and nails, Clary Sage is definitely an oil you want to have on hand as it can help with all three. When it comes to your hair, it helps to promote a healthy, flake-free scalp as well as balance oil production. This, in turn, will help promote healthier hair as well as combat hair loss. For those with oily skin, add Clary Sage to your skincare routine to help balance sebum and excess oil. And lastly, this oil is great for promoting healthy nails and cuticles. This oil is an all-around winner when it comes to beauty!
