I have heard Dr. Purser speak and Gary Young and both are very fascinating. Take the time to read this post and you will see.
In my opinion the Clary Sage Essential Oil – especially the Sclareol portion is phytoestrogenic – and it readily converts to estradiol in the female body (not sure in men).
In my medical practice, I advise patients who wish to use more natural options and who refuse oral or compounded estradiol creams, to use 8 drops of clary sage per day topically, or orally (in veggie caps). Check estradiol serum levels after a few weeks to see if the level is above 60 pg/ml. If its not keep adding drops until it is.
So you know if it does not budge at all, just stop using it as you’re one of the few don’t absorb it or it does not work in, or the oil you’re using is poor quality.
D. Gary Young, who knew more about essential oils than any man on the planet, once told me personally (when I asked why so many of his distributors in his company had normal estradiol levels when they should not have had because they were not on any prescription medications) that clary sage contains sclareol and sclareol was incredibly phytoestrogenic. I’ve found him to be 100% correct on this.
The only other real proof to date I’ve ever seen is the hundreds of labs I’ve done on women who use clary sage products and have normal or therapeutic estradiol levels – and these are women who have no ovaries or are well past menopause.
Keep this in mind. I feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. I do not advocate regular internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on.
