Plant Description
Clary Sage is a biennial or perennial herb that is fast growing.
In the first year of growth, the base of the plant produces
medium-green, course leaves. In its second year of growth, the
Clary Sage plant yields flowers from stalks with upright spikes.
These flowers are either violet or white in color. Clary Sage
essential oil is extracted from the flower. The Clary Sage plant
grows best in full sun and well-drained soil.1
Chemistry of Clary Sage Oil
Main Chemical Components: Linalyl acetate, linalool
The main chemical components of Clary Sage oil are linalool
and linalyl acetate. Linalool is a powerful constituent that can
affect both the mood and the body. As mentioned by the
doTERRA Science blog, a recent study shows that internal use
of linalool affects the monoaminergic system of the brain.*2
When Linalool enters this system, it acts on multiple receptors.
Because multiple receptors are targeted, the effects of linalool
are more potent and long lasting than molecules that target
only one receptor. This effect supports the brain chemistry
balance in these receptors, which has the effect of reducing sad
feelings.* Another study suggests that ingesting linalool by
itself may facilitate the normal process of relaxation of the
blood vessels.*3 Linalool used internally is also thought to
promote relaxation in the body.4 In addition to linalool, linalyl
acetate contains relaxing and soothing properties when used
internally because enzymes in the body metabolize linalyl
acetate to linalool.5 Linalyl acetate is also part of the esters
group, making it one of the most relaxing, soothing, and
balancing essential oils. To learn more about the chemical
properties of Clary Sage, visit the doTERRA Science Blog.
