Clary Sage - ( Salvia Sclarea) 

Clary Sage is a sturdy perennial herb with hairy, pale green, purple tinged leaves and insignificant blue flowers. Native to southern Europe it is also cultivated worldwide wherever the soil is well drained. In the Middle Ages it was known as Cleareye, which refers both to its ability to cleanse the eyes ( the herb, not the essential oil) and its reputation for including visions.

It is closely related to garden sage (salvia officinalis), but since it has lower levels of keytones it is much safer to use. Clary Sage is known as a euphoric and is deeply relaxing for muscles and mind. It lifts you above daily cares, but at the same time s grounding, earthy and inspiring. It is said to have a progesterone like effect and can be used to regulate hormonal cycles and relieve the discomfort of heats or season.

It also helps to release energy in the lower chakras and encourages sexual activity. Last but not least, Clary Sage releases constriction in the lungs, deepening breathing and relieving fearful tension.
