At Lotus Garden Botanicals, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality Clary Sage essential oils. We have two types of Clary Sage in our collection - one sourced from organic Salvia sclarea flower tops in the USA, and the other from France.
Our Clary Sage essential oil from France is also rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, but has a lower sclareol content of 0.94%. Nonetheless, it still offers many of the same benefits as the USA variant, making it a popular choice among aromatherapy enthusiasts.
We take great care to ensure that our Clary Sage essential oils are sourced from the highest quality plants, and are hydrodistilled to produce the purest possible oil. Our Clary Sage essential oil from the USA contains a remarkable 2.56% sclareol content, which is known to provide relief for amenorrhea, PMS, and menopause symptoms.
Sclareol is a rare compound that is also believed to possess potent anticancer properties. In an
article written by Robert Tisserand about estrogenic effects of Clary Sage he states
"Sclareol does have an interesting anticancer activity, including in vitro action against human breast cancer MCF-7 cells (Dimas et al 2006). An isomer, 13-epi-sclareol, which is also present in clary sage oil, inhibits the growth of breast and uterine cancers in vitro, and was slightly more potent than Tamoxifen, but was not toxic to normal cells (Sashidhara et al 2007). This suggests the possibility that sclareol might actually inhibit estrogen, and might after all have some capacity to interact with estrogen receptor sites."
Clary Sage essential oil is claimed to induce a sense of well-being and aid with relief from depression. Clary Sage essential oil, high in sclareol, is said to reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and PMS and benefit female functions in general.
For use during meditation, relaxation, or stress reduction, see our Clary Sage (France).
