Clary Sage Oil adorns its name from the Latin word Clarus, meaning clarifying or cleansing. Clary sage was traditionally used to treat digestive problems and is also known for its antiseptic and astringent qualities and the seeds have been used for centuries to makes a clear (clary) eyewash.
Descriptions of the medicinal use of the plant reach back to the writings of Theophrastus (4th century BCE), Dioscorides (1st century CE), and Pliny the Elder (1st century CE). Derived from the medicinal herb, Salvia sclarea. This long-loved medicinal herb is native to the Mediterranean Basin.
