With the hours we spend on electronic devices and the copious amounts of stress we deal with daily as moms providing for our families, it is no surprise that we are visited with the very common and very annoying eye twitch from time to time. The good news is, you don’t have to suffer through it!
I’d like to introduce you to your new best friend, Clary Sage!
Clary Sage finds its way into a lot of uses for our family. We have used it to address styes in the eye, reduce cramping pains during menstrual cycles and as a calming sedative diffused to reduce anxiety and encourage a calm atmosphere at the end of a stressful day. Given these applications, it should come as no surprise why this oil would be my first choice for eye twitching…it is not only calming but antispasmodic!
The fact that it is also great for skin makes it a natural choice for topical application. To reduce eye twitching, I take a drop diluted in a little coconut oil and rub it around the eye socket of the offending eye. The results are virtually immediate!
For you chemists out there, you might be interested in a little more of the science behind this little oil. Clary Sage is a biennial or perennial herb that grows up to six feet in height. The main chemical component of Clary Sage is linalyl acetate, part of the esters group, making it one of the most relaxing, soothing, and balancing essential oils. In the Middle Ages, the Clary Sage plant was frequently used to soothe skin.
When you know all the applications of this oil, you will undoubtedly love it as much as we do! Here’s a few ways we use it in our family…
- During your menstrual cycle, rub three to five drops on the abdomen for a soothing massage.
- Combine with Roman Chamomile and add to bath water for a stress-relieving bath.
- Diffuse or apply to pillow at night for a restful sleep.
- Add to shampoo or hair conditioner to promote healthy hair and scalp.
- Combine with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to massage, soothe, or rejuvenate skin.
