The Cortisol-Lowering Essential Oil. Clinically Studied.
Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) is one of the most clinically interesting essential oils for hormonal and emotional health. Unlike most aromatherapy oils where evidence is limited to animal studies, clary sage has been studied directly in humans for cortisol reduction, anxiety, and antidepressant effects. Our steam-distilled clary sage is standardized for linalyl acetate (56–78%) and linalool (6–16%) — the primary active compounds responsible for its calming and hormone-modulating effects.
Evidence-Backed Uses
Cortisol reduction — A 2014 RCT found clary sage inhalation significantly reduced cortisol levels and improved thyroid hormone status in menopausal women
Anxiety & antidepressant — A 2010 study found clary sage produced significant antidepressant-like effects, attributed to dopaminergic activity
Menstrual support — Antispasmodic properties relieve menstrual cramps; traditionally used to regulate cycles
Blood pressure — A 2013 RCT found clary sage inhalation significantly reduced blood pressure and respiratory rate in patients undergoing urinary catheterization
