CLARY SAGE - CALIVA SCLAREA

The oil is extracted from the flowering tops and leaves of this perennial herb. It is grown for oil in England, France, Morocco and througout the Mediterranean.
This was once one of the most valued herbs, used for stomach upsets, infertility and all nervous problems. In latin 'clary' means clear eye:  the herb was named so as it made such a soothing, healing eye lotion.
This essential oil has a green, balsamic and aromatic smell. It is mildly antiseptic, an uplifting tonic, warming and relaxing.
In Aromatherapy it is very useful for PMT and menstrual cramps, for depression, hysteria, negativity, panic, indecision, fatigue, stress, headaches and skin irritation or  inflammation.

                          HOME USES:

Massage, baths. A few drops in a bath soothes a backache, sprains and pains, cramps, bad moods, itchy skin, and leaves you feeling energised. It is good to use in face, neck and scalp massages to help rid you of headaches and tension.
