About Clary Sage
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)
Fun fact: Centuries ago, German winemakers added clary sage to inferior wines to make them more intoxicating.
Clary Sage was highly valued during the Middle Ages for its ability to to heal
all sorts of eye problems. Called "clarus", meaning clear, it was
later transformed into clary. Part of its Latin name, salvia, means to save.
Rightly so, as clary sage enjoys a reputation as a sort of "cure all"
because it quite literally is used successfully to restore health in a variety
of areas. Egyptians loved clary sage for its purported ability to cure infertility.
The Greeks, Romans, and Chinese loved it because it held promise to assure long
life. And 16th century Englanders loved it as a replacement for hops to brew
beer. Clary sage is also a favorite of creative types, who swear that its fragrance
is inspirational. Why not open a bottle yourself and take a whiff? Maybe clary
sage will inspire you to greatness!
