Description
Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) has a scent that is herbaceous, spicy, and hay-like; it is a sharp, fixative with a middle-to-base note scent that has an odor intensity of about three out of five. Blending companions include lavender, geranium, woods, and citrus. For physical ailments, the oil possesses properties that are antidepressant, emmenagogic, astringent, and aphrodisiac. For emotional states of confusion, indecision, PMS, postpartum depression, panic and a sense of being overwhelmed, clary sage is ideal. This herb was known in Medieval Europe as "clear eyes". The Latin species name, sclaria, hints at its use as a tea for clearing the white, or 'sclera', of the eyes. Like that of its close relative, garden sage, the distilled essential oil has reputed estrogenic effects.
