NOW Foods Clary Sage Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam-distilled from Salvia sclarea — a biennial herb native to the Mediterranean that produces one of the most distinctive and therapeutically interesting essential oils in aromatherapy. Clary sage contains linalyl acetate and sclareol — a diterpene compound that has been studied for its mild phytoestrogenic-like properties, making clary sage particularly popular in women's aromatherapy for menstrual discomfort, PMS support, and menopausal symptom management. The aroma is earthy, musky, and slightly floral — simultaneously calming and euphoric, making it widely used for stress, anxiety, and mood support. GC/MS tested by NOW Foods for identity and purity. Dilute in carrier oil for topical use. Use caution during pregnancy. Not for internal use.
