is nature's gift to women. Besides chocolate ha!
It's no secret that women are different than men. We go through so much--hormonal changes, giving birth, mood swings, etc. So this lovely little oil should be no secret to us women!
Clary Sage is known for its uplifting and mood-lightening attributes and also for its anti-fungal, antispasmodic, sedative, and soothing properties. Clary Sage has traditionally been used by women to soothe monthly discomfort associated with their menstrual cycles and to help with emotional stress, damaged ahir, hot flashes, lactation, mood swings, and more.
Here are a couple of studies about how Clary Sage has helped women in different situations...
- An aromatherapy massage consisting of Clary Sage and other essential oils, may be an effective treatment for menstrual pain in high school girls.
- An observational study done by midwives over a span of time suggests that chamomile and clary sage are an effective way to alleviate pain, maternal anxiety, fear and/or pain during labor.
- Another study showed that animals that were given a clary sage essential oil-enriched food from the date of conception, showed a significant reduction of dominant and anxiety-like behavior compared to other animals given sunflower oil-enriched foods.
I just started using this oil. It smells really good! I'm still trying to familiarize myself with it, but here is how I use it so far:
- I rub it on my abdomen for any kind of discomfort.
- Diffusing it to help uplift my mood.
- I rub it on the back of my neck to relieve nerves and anxiety.
- I also rub it on my pillow to help me sleep!
I also got some tips from other users!
