Essential Oil Spotlight
Clary Sage
The use of Clary Sage dates back to ancient times. The Romans
called it claurus, which can be translated as “clear,” because of
its use as an eye wash. The Germans added this delicate flower
to their wine, and elsewhere it has been used in soups, omelets,
and flavored jellies. As an essential oil, Clary Sage is known for
its calming aroma and topical benefits to the skin. The active
ingredient of Clary Sage is linalyl acetate; this ester makes Clary
Sage one of the most relaxing and soothing essential oils when
taken internally.*
