History & Culture
Clary Sage has been used in European herbal traditions for centuries. Its name derives from the Latin clarus meaning "clear" — traditionally used to support vision and mental clarity. Medieval herbalists valued it for its calming and balancing properties.
Clary Sage represents clarity of vision and perspective. It supports the ability to see clearly through confusion and encourages trust in one's own perceptions and intuitions.
