CLARY SAGE
salvia sclarea {10ml}
Product Summary
Clary Sage has been used since the Middle Ages for a variety of health concerns ranging from digestive disorders to nervous conditions. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is useful for respiratory infections.*
Clary Sage has a fairly unremarkable biochemical composition, the principle constituents of which are found in a large number of Essential Oils. It is the compounds found in low quantities or the trace elements that give it its most original properties. One of the essential qualities of Clary Sage is that it is rebalancing and antispasmodic. It fights depression manifestations and overexcitability in young girls or sensitive women.*
Unlike common Sage, Clary Sage does not contain any toxic biochemical compounds. It is devoid of ketones and rich in esters, which common Sage lacks. Clary Sage is fundamentally a terrain oil, and thanks to it, aromatherapists possess a remarkable means of regulating deep-seated gynecological problems and the psychological consequences ensuing as a result.*
