Clary Sage Essential Oil
Calming Support for Skin & Spirit
Clary Sage, Salvia sclarea, has a beautiful, earthy, herbaceous aroma with a soft floral note. The essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Salvia sclarea, a Mediterranean plant in the mint family. It is closely related to Salvia officinalis—the culinary garden sage many of us know well.
Cultivated since the Middle Ages for its medicinal, aromatic, and spiritual uses, clary sage carries a long tradition of healing. Its botanical name comes from the Latin salvare, meaning “to heal.”
