Clary Sage – Salvia sclarea
A very complex oil with around 250 constituents. Used on skin for its cellular regenerating properties. It is sought after for ageing, oily, acne, inflamed skin and wrinkles. For mental states it has some anti-depressant, fluid, and hormone regulating properties, making it useful for PMS and perimenopausal symptoms. It is also calming and may be helpful for some migraines. Avoid with breast and ovarian cysts and hormone-sensitive cancers. It may also exaggerate the effect of alcohol, so do not use when drinking. Avoid when pregnant and do not use internally.
