Clary Sage Oil
Clary Sage has been used for centuries predominantly to ease menstrual pains, aid in sleep and relaxation, hormone balancing and more. One popular use is to support the progression of labour when it is safe. Our Clary Sage is in a 10ml amber bottle with a dropper cap and is filled with the natural essential oil Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea).
I recommend putting a few drops of Clary Sage oil on a tissue and tucking that into your bra / top when you are in labour. This is safer than diffusing in a hospital setting (if that is your birth place), and it allows you to stop using the oil quickly and easily if you find the smell unpleasant in labour.
Credit Card Fees are high, and small businesses are feeling the effect. If you’d like to pay by bank transfer instead and avoid these fees, then please email me on info@beempoweredbirth.com.au to purchase your product/s and receive an invoice!
How do I use Clary Sage?
Clary Sage can be used in several ways:
- You can put a few drops in your bath
- Put a few drops on a flannel, tissue or similar and inhale it, or tuck it into your bra strap during labour
- Mix a few drops into a carrier oil and rub it onto your body. When applying to the skin, a carrier oil is a must – a few examples of carrier oils are coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil and sunflower oil (1 drop of Clary Sage to 5mls of carrier oil is recommended)
- Adding a few drops in your diffuser or oil burner. This is a great thing to do when you are at home, full term, and already in labour – if you can diffuse in your birthing suite, you may choose to do that too.
It is best to double-check the policies of where you will be, though; some hospitals have banned Clary Sage in maternity wards due to the effect it can have on other patients or health professionals who are not full-term in their pregnancy
