Both February oils are supportive to the central nervous system. (CNS)
This means they are used to enhance a calm disposition as life throws challenges our way. Some common adjectives are “antidepressant, analgesic, immunostimulant, anti inflammatory..” This is the definition of a nervine Essential oil…
Clary sage always has a high percentage of linalyl acetate. The amount of linalool can vary significantly depending on the country of origin. (Bulgaria, India & France) Ours comes from France. The components mentioned are what produce a calming effect in the brain.
Aroma: Distinctive, sweet, deep, woody, and herbal. Look for thick-like, deeply grassy/hay, woody/cedar, and balsamic notes. Clary Sage is quite complex. Because of these shared constituents, clary sage blends very well with lavender and mandarin and adds its own unique herbal character to any duo.
It’s used as a middle note and its flower buds are the plant part that is steam distilled to produce the Essential oil.
Mandarin is one of the best oils known (along with Spearmint) for nausea. If the nausea comes from food poisoning, overeating, or a stomach flu, Mandarin is your go to oil.
Of all the citruses, Mandarin is the best choice for children (and adults love it, too). Most people love the bright aroma and it enhances great immune support (and reduces anxiety—what a perfect combination!) The oil is antibacterial and antiviral, which means it’s perfect for an inhaler to help children stay healthy around other kids in school. Even though it’s a citrus oil it’s NON phototoxic, so use it in those body & face creams for a fresh fragrance! Along with it being emotionally uplifting, it’s a fantastic digestive when used in a massage blend topically.
