clary sage

Clary Sage (salvia sclarea) is derived through steam distillation from the flowering tips of the Clary Sage herb, originating in the European continent. The word Clary comes from the latin Clarus, meaning 'Clear.' Its aroma is warm, camphoraceous, bittersweet, musty and somewhat spicy.

The anti-spasmodic and analgesic actions of Clary Sage (like Lavender) are ideal for muscular stiffness and spasm, headache and migraine. As a gynaecological remedy, it may be used to reduced pre-menstrual tension and help ease menstrual pain.It has also been used to dull pain during labour.

Clary Sage helps the respiratory system by opening the chest and deepening the breath. As a mildly expectorant and anti-infectious oil, it may be combined with eucalyptus and pine for catarrhal coughs and throat infections.
