Clary Sage Materia Medica
$5.00
Clary sage is often referred to as a gentler form of its relative sage (Salvia officinalis). While it has much less potential toxicity (sage oil is composed of as much as 50% of thujone, a potentially toxic ketone) and is safer to use in larger quantities, it’s soul nature is far different than sage’s and thus, in Spiritual PhytoEssencing, clary sage oil is not considered a potential substitute for sage oil.
Among modern herbalists, clary sage has fallen into relative disuse. However, in earlier times, clary sage was used to treat a wide range of disorders including: headache; visual problems; eye irritation or inflammation; foreign particles lodged in the eye (to remove them); disordered states of digestion; colic; gastrointestinal spasms; kidney weakness; amenorrhea; retention of the afterbirth; leucorrhea; tumors; ulcers; swellings; boils; splinters and thorns (to help draw them out); scorpion stings.
