Clary Sage is a medicinal flowering herb that is native to the Mediterranean basin. It is the 4th of 8 essential oils I am highlighting in my new blend called, BALANCE, an activated synergistic blend of essential oils, charged alkaline water and crystals that I will be offering later this summer!⠀⠀
I think it is important to understand that each essential oil has powerful chemical components that release specific scents that directly effect the limbic system of the brain which regulates feeling, memory, and motivation. our sense of smell is chemical, meaning it can detect chemicals in the environment. ⠀⠀
“Our sense of smell is 10,000 times more sensitive than any other of our senses and recognition of smell is immediate. Other senses like touch and taste must travel through the body via neurons and the spinal cord before reaching the brain whereas the olfactory response is immediate, extending directly to the brain. This is the only place where our central nervous system is directly exposed to the environment.” (von Have, Serene Aromatherapy)⠀⠀
in a nutshell- using scent is a potent delivery method of healing for our spiritual and physical bodies. Getting back to Clary Sage, she has many medicinal benefits that, similarly to geranium and bergamot, work to reduce stress by reducing cortisol in our systems and fending off the effects of stress and relieving depression. She also has been found to support hormonal balance, help with insomnia, aid digestion, lower blood pressure, and increase circulation.⠀⠀
As always, check with your doctor for any contraindications and to determine whether this plant medicine is right for you.⠀⠀⠀
