Just a heads up that I’m ran a Facebook event last night on women’s health and essential oils. It will be available until March 5th. Visit and comment on the posts and you could win and lemon or orange essential oil. > https://www.facebook.com/events/256364551477496/
I’ll also be giving away 3 oils for those who attend the event live!

So with that out of the way I want to just share what I think the number one oil that all women need to have in their arsenal. Of course, it’s hard for me to pin down just ONE oil but Clary Sage is one of the most important essential oils for hormones, especially in women.
Clary Sage has anticonvulsive, antidepressant, antifungal, anti-infectious, antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties and can help with cramps, heavy menstrual cycles, hot flashes and hormonal imbalances.
Here are the top 3 reasons why Clary Sage is a great essential oil for women…
Relieves Menstrual Discomfort.
I used to suffer from horrendous period pain. Until I started using a mixture of vitamin C and Clary Sage. I’ll talk about the vitamin C element on another post but Clary sage is an antispasmodic, meaning it treats spasms and related issues such as muscle cramps, headaches and stomachaches. It does this by relaxing the nerve impulses that we can’t control.
Can help you sleep.
If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from insomnia then Clary Sage is the oil for you. It’s a natural sedative so will give you that calm, peaceful feeling you need to send you off in to the land of nod. As you know, not sleeping can have a massive effect on your life – your energy levels, mood, productivity, stress levels and overall health will suffer.
Helps increase circulation.
Clary Sage opens up the blood vessels and allows for increased circulation. It can also help lower blood pressure by relaxing the brain and arteries. This boosts the performance of the metabolic system by increasing the amount of oxygen that gets into the muscles and supporting organ function.
There are plenty more benefits of clary sage so if you have time tonight do pop along to my class. But I’ll make sure I schedule in another post to praise the great work that Clary Sage does. Don’t forget to join me at 8pm tonight!! xoxox
oh i could have used this years ago when i was going thru my “change of life”….
Oh i so need to look into using essential oils more I didn’t know that clary sage has such good benefits.
You had me at relieves menstrual cramps! Worth trying out
Wow! I really should look into essential oils a bit more! I mostly just buy some that I think smell good, instead of looking into the actual benefits.
Anything that relieves period pain is a winner in my book!
I have never heard of this, will have to investigate further because the benefits sound amazing
I did not know all of these wonderful benefits of clary sage essential oil. I could really benefit from the increased circulation and boosted performance of the metabolic system.
Oh anything which helps encourage sleep sounds good as sometimes I do struggle x
I think I used Clary Sage in the bath when trying to bring on labour? 🙂
So many good benefits…maybe worth a try 🙂
Wow sounds fab! Always keen for methods to better sleep. Also suffering with menstrual pain recently 🙁 x
My mummy suffers from Endo so might give the Clary Sage a go! Thanks
Sounds fab, I suffer with lack of sleep and have a never ending cycle with no break so I wonder if this will help as the doctors won’t give me anything
It is a good oil for women especially and it’s great that it can help with sleep.
I have always been fascinated by the benefits of essentials oils and I do love Clary sage x
I have to admit I’ve never heard of this. The benefits sound great. I think I need to try this out.
I never know an essential oil could do all these things – thanks for sharing x
Not heard of this before, sounds like something I should be getting though
Amazing. anything that can comfort me in my periods cramps is a thumbs up for me.
Great read! I recently cracked open my essential oils recently but I’m still stuck on lavender.
I’ve not heard of this, but anything that relieves Menstrual Pain is great in my book. Every few months i get a really painful period and nothing I’ve tried yet helps, so I would definitely be interested in giving this a go!
I’ve never used this oil, but it sounds really good. Thanks for sharing the benefits with us.
This is so interesting, I’ve never really used oils before but they sound really helpful! xo
I like to use tea tree oil and lavender, never tried clary sage before. might have to give it a try
I use a few essential oils but have never used clary sage before x
