Scorpio and Clary Sage

As a Scorpio rising I tend to gravitate towards the intense and mysterious in life. This water sign is known for powerful, sensual and intuitive actions. Here we have the phoenix rising out of the ashes for this sign is above all else regenerative. This is also why Scorpio governs the reproductive organs as well as the excretory systems of the body. Pluto, ruling planet of Scorpio, governs the dark side of life encouraging transformation and change. Many Scorpios will complain about an illness directly after experiencing an emotionally upsetting event. It is true that the emotional health of this erratic sign can directly determine its physical health. Enter an awesomely calming and healing essential oil known as Clary Sage. Here we have an essential oil that can help to aid in the healing of menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalance and urinary tract infections. Clary Sage works to reduce depressive symptoms in most adults while bringing their body and mind back to a state of bliss. Combine this oil with a citrus scent and apply to the abdomen and low back for an instant mood boost when feeling down. Beware of applying this particular oil to children because it is known to act similarly as a narcotic on the body. If pregnant please avoid using Clary Sage for reasons stated above. In my experience this essential oil has come in handy when working on clients because it not only helps to decrease their anxiety but also opens my body to healing work as well. Scorpio is associated with the color purple and this color reminds me of Clary Sage. There is a strong connection between this sign and water so use a few drops of Clary Sage in the tub next time you want to decompress. At the spa we love to cater to your needs and make your experience as fulfilling as possible. Essential oils help tremendously when it comes to customizing a client’s treatment. Your session can go from wow to WOW with just a few drops of an essential oil. Please come by soon for an unforgettable massage with one of our talented and caring therapists.
