Weekly Essential Oil~ Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil is steam distilled from the flower buds and leaves.  Its aroma is a light, sweet, herbal, grassy scent.  Clary Sage is energetically uplifting. It is excellent for mental clarity and focus and can offer support for emotional distress.  Try creating a diffuser blend with a few drops of Clary Sage and a drop of Lavender.  Because it has anti-inflammatory properties, it is also a wonderful oil for helping to clear your skin when used in a daily face wash.  Clary Sage can also ease tension making it useful in massage blends for sore, tight muscles.  Try the sore muscle massage blend below.
