Edens Garden 100% Pure Celery Seed Essential Oil - Undiluted, Natural, Therapeutic Grade for Aromatherapy, Diffusers, Skin Care, Candles & Laundry | 30ml (1 fl oz) | Perfect for Stress Relief, Home Spa & Natural Cleaning

I'm new to essential oil use with careful research, and this was one of the first two oils I ever bought, and from Eden's Garden. I had not had previously known experience with Clary Sage but like the benefits offered. I mainly bought this as a euphoric calming agent for bad days where my antidepressant doesn't help me enough. Secondary benefits are menstrual cycle use. And clary sage just smells beautiful- floral, herbal, feminine.This is one of many great essential oils with various uses. As mentioned, I mainly use as aromatherapy, usually at night. I will sniff it straight or apply a small amount. I've tried a dab on my third eye and it's not irritating to my skin but I seemed to get the slightest headache for a little bit, so it should mainly be diluted. I made a lovely linen spray using 20 drops, a half portion of vodka and half water. It does have such a great calming effect. It is advisable to avoid driving, and alcohol makes clary sage's effects more apparent. As far as menstrual use goes, I've only been through one occasion at the time of writing this review. I mixed a few drops with lotion and rubbed on my abdomen and lower back twice, and it relaxed my minor cramps well. I should note that I am on hormonal birth control so I do not currently experience a natural cycle, and do not experience intense symptoms as I once did so can't compare. I do know that clary sage may act in a way to mimic estrogens, and as far as I've read the full, long term effects aren't known but clary sage is known to be safe for most people. Ask a professional if estrogen is a risk factor for your health, and seek extensive information. Another purpose of clary sage is cosmetic use as a toner or scalp treatment to fight oily hair. I haven't yet tried the latter, but I've tried it as a toner a few times. It seemed to give my combination skin a bit of an oily effect and may have encouraged a few emerging spots. I have not fully explored its effects and results are inconclusive so far.I'm still experimenting with clary sage's uses, but I love its smell, antidepressant and pms relaxant effects. I am very happy with the Eden's Garden oils I've bought so far, they are great quality and unbeatable price. I am not a professional, all opinions and experiences are my own, and I encourage informed use of this product.
