Clary Sage Certified Organic Oil

Clary Sage is a biennial or short-lived herbaceous perennial in the genus Salvia. The plant has a long history as a medicinal herb and is currently grown for its essential oils. Clary sage essential oil is extracted from Salvia sclarea of the Labiatae. Clary sage oil is expensive oil but still used for many health benefits. It is a native to southern Europe and is a stout biennial herb that grows up to 1m tall with large, hairy leaves, and small blue/white flowers growing directly off the long, thin stem. It is cultivated for oil production in France and Russia.

The name is derived from the Latin, 'Claris' that means 'clear' or from the Greek 'skeria' meaning 'hardness', referring to the hard parts of the flower petals.
