Clary sage essential oil is the only essential oil in our Aromatics Garden, which is also known as an aphrodisiac. We can smile at this, believe it or not, but how to check it? As a manufacturer, I definitely need to know my oils and their effects and so I have the privilege of testing them myself. 🙂
So I set to work. Nicely prepared, slightly darkened room, candles all around, in the diffuser our favourite laurel hydrosole. I dipped a few drops of clary sage essential oil into the almond oil and indulged in the anticipation of my partner’s massage. Just how will it work for me? Given the strong and intoxicating smell, I would expect similar feelings – elation, strong emotions. But look at the surprise, the result was just the opposite. Clary sage has extracted tenderness and devotion from us, a very harmonious mood. It surprised us a lot and only now I understand why it is so praised as a first-class plant for regulating female hormones.
