Analgesic
Linalyl acetate has antinociceptive activity in vivo (Sakurada et al. 2009). Linalyl acetate has antinociceptive activity.
For dysmenorrhea, a blend of Lavender, Clary Sage and Marjoram (2:1:1 ratio, 3% in a cream base for abdominal massage) provides pain relief and reduces the duration of pain.
Linalyl acetate has antinociceptive activity in vivo.
Antibacterial
The essential oil has antibacterial actions. It is active against Staphylococcus epidermidis, which is implicated in acne.
Six essential oils (from oregano, thyme, clove, lavender, clary sage, and arborvitae) exhibited different antibacterial and antifungal properties. Antimicrobial activity was shown against pathogenic and environmental bacteria and fungi. Oregano, thyme, clove and arborvitae showed very strong antibacterial activity against all tested strains at both full strength and reduced concentrations. These essential oils showed different fungistatic and fungicidal activities when tested by direct application and in the vapor phase.
Anti-Inflammatory
Clary Sage has shown anti-inflammatory action.
Antidepressant
Clary Sage has demonstrated good anti-stress activity and is antidepressant.
Antispasmodic
Linalyl acetate, a major component of Clary Sage essential oil, can induce relaxation of smooth muscle.
CNS Sedative
The essential oil typically contains 10-16% linalol, which is known to have sedative activity.
We also know that linalyl acetate works synergistically with linalol, and that the sedative action of Lavender depends on the presence of both constituents.
Immunostimulant
There is no directly supportive research for the essential oil. However, Clary Sage contains substantial amounts of linalyl acetate, which does have immunostimulant activity in vitro.
Clary Sage remains a favourite with it's delightful fragrance and calming nature, it is gently uplifting when overwhelmed with emotion or depression, Clary Sage helps bring that calm balance back. A beautiful oil to always have on hand.
Suggested uses via this website states it can be taken internally. I took a drop and diluted it with approximately 10 drops of coconut oil via a capsule and felt sleepiness, lightheaded, and minor heart palpitations. Wonderful scent. Perhaps infuse it; perhaps wear it; but I do NOT suggest a person ingests it. This is only my opinion.
the french origin is sweeter
Helps me relax and get a good nights sleep in my diffuser.
Not really a fan of this by itself so I mix it and make my own blends for mood lifters. I've used this in my shampoo as well and it works great.

I have used clary sage for many things and it was one of the first essential oils/scents that I had not ever heard of that I tried and I have bought it many times again! I add it to coconut oil with other essential oils and use it as a lotion; I added it to a deodorant blend that I have made myself as well as adding it to a diffuser and my Happy scent fragrance blend spray that I carry with me! And if you have over scented with some sort of citrusy or some other strong scents, like lavender, clary sage can calm the blend down and make it a bit softer scent! Also I find it helpful to make the smell of the bug spray blend better!
Such a relaxing oil!
