Possible mild irritant to skin and mucous membranes. Tisserand suggests that just because Clary Sage is labeled as an Emmenagogue does not imply that the oil is an abortifacient in the amounts used in aromatherapy and, as such, it should present no danger in pregnancy.
If pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician or clinical certified aromatherapist. For external use only. Keep away from mucous membranes & eyes. Test a small amount on skin for allergic reaction. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid using on infants and small children under the age of five.
Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil.

It is also a general tonic for the stomach and digestive system, relieving tension in that area.
