I for Clary sage & eyes

 

This oil is calming for the nervous system, can pop a few drops in a bath for a restful nights sleep; unless you are pregnant. Also calming for ladies during their menstrual cycle if cramping is experienced; just rub a few drops in a circular motion around the lower abdomen.

Also useful as its calming and has a connection with the reproductive system during labour to calm the mind and work through the contractions more effectively. Has an effect on scanty periods so therefore as it helps to regulate them shouldn't be used during pregnancy. 

Clary comes from 'clarus' meaning clear or bright, historically used in soothing eye lotion.  I have found relief from irritation of my eyes by rubbing clary sage essential oil into my reflex points for my eye found on my hand ...just on the pad under my index and third finger on the appropriate side.  The oil is associated with the colour indigo linked to your third eye chakra, so along the same line as the eyes and helps intuition and clarity of thought.     

   

 

We spoke about how Clary sage has a synergy with the eyes for generations. Here we see where to find the eye reflex point, this one representing the left eye. It's quite a small area just tucked in where the fingers join the hand and above the area of the breast and lungs as depicted on F for Frankincense page. 

I have always found this  area is very responsive to a reflex boost especially when carried out as soon as you feel either dry eyes or irritation. And for an extra boost add a drop of your diluted Clary sage from your bottle to this area on your hand before working it.

This area also corresponds to part of your shoulder line and eustachian tube...that continues along the same line under your 3rd and 4th fingers as well.
