There is a popular misconception that emmenagogic essential oils are unsafe during pregnancy because they are abortifacient and therefore may lead to a miscarriage. This assumption is incorrect and is corrected in ‘Essential Oil Safety’*, where Robert Tisserand clarifies that emmenagogic oils present no danger in aromatherapy, and clary sage is confirmed as safe (when used externally) during pregnancy.
This misunderstanding has been exacerbated due to Salvia sclarea being confused with Salvia lavandulifolia– which is an abortifacient oil.
