Clary Sage Organic Essential Oil | 10ml

Description

+ DESCRIPTION
A warming, soothing and gently herbaceous that has been shown to have incredibly balancing effects on a variety of ailments:
Relieves, calms & balances especially favoured for women during periods of hormonal upset (PMS, menopause & labour) by helping to relieve cramps, tiredness, and mood swings; consider massage as well as inhalation.
Warming & bonding increases oxytocin in the body, a hormone associated with empathy, trust, relationship-building.
Childbirth favoured by midwives to help ease labour for the same reasons above (oxytocin is the same chemical that helps stimulate contractions to induce labour)
Treats wounds & infections due to antimicrobial properties.
Specific claims are evidenced by either clinical studies or taken from folkloric tradition, which is not guaranteed to be successful for everyone. Contact us for more information.

+ HOW TO USE
Cotton ball: put a few drops in cotton balls and breathe in or (better still) place cotton in a cylindrical container first and breathe in from there. Keep the container at 10cm away and inhale 10 deep breaths. Repeat steps for desired effects 2-3 times a day.
Diffuser/Vaporisation: add recommended number of drops to nebulizer or cold steam diffuser.
Sleep: Add 1-2 drops to pillow before bed, positioned where your nose can directly breathe it in. For more troubled sleep, combine with deep breathing exercise. To do this, apply 1-2 drops of oil to the palms & rub together gently. Lay down & close eyes. When breathing to help with sleep, it is useful to focus attention on the breathing & nothing else. Restful sleep is more likely in a total dark room – no candles or mood effects.
Bath: Add few drops to bath. To help oils disperse easily, mix first with little oil or our liquid soap before pouring into bath.
Steam/Compress for cold/flu: Add 10 drops to 100ml very warm water. Soak cloth in the scented water & wrap on desired area (ideal for bruises, wounds, muscular aches & pains and skin problems). For facial steam add 5 drops to bowl of hot water, cover head with a towel to make a tent, then steam face for a few mins.
Massage: Use 1-2% essential oil to carrier (i.e. 1-2 drops per 10ml of carrier); for children under 12 halve this amount.
