Clary Sage

Why Moldova?

Clary Sage is native to parts of Europe and the Mediterranean. It is a flowering herb in the mint family that has been used for its many benefits since the Middle Ages. The flowers and leaves are steam distilled for the fragrant essential oil, which is considered one of the most relaxing of all oils.

How Does It Work?

Clary Sage is usually a biennial, which means that it blooms every other year. It is an herb and grows up to 6 feet (1.8 m) in height. On each tall stem, small flowers bloom—usually between four and six per stem. The essential oil comes from these flowers and is steam distilled. The flowers bloom from late spring into mid-summer and can be pink, white, or purplish-blue.
