Clary Sage - Essential Oil

Clary Sage is the common name for salvia sclarea. I’ve used it to relieve depression and stress.

It can be used as a scent in soap or put in bath water. Other ways to use it would be to put a droplet of the oil on the edge of a pillowcase before resting, or on a small strip of cloth to fasten to the front of your fan during the summertime.

Clary Sage essential oil is created by steam distillation of the leaves and flowering tops.

Other possible uses are for high blood pressure, muscular aches and pains, skin inflammations including acne, dandruff and hair loss, labor pains, cramps, and asthma.

Hi, my name is Linda. This is my personal home and hearth journal.

I am a self-trained herbalist. I became a vegetarian when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was a San Francisco Bay Area hippie in the 60s and early 70s. Then I became a mom - the most important job I've ever had.

Now I live in a very small mountain community. The nearest fast food restaurant is more than forty miles during summer, and more than seventy miles in winter when the pass is snowed under. I've never owned a cell phone, but I talked on one once.
