Clary Sage, also known as Muscatel Sage, is a flowering garden herb that is a member of the mint family known as the Lamiaceae (formally Labiatae) botanical family.  Native to the Mediterranean region, it is also grown in places such as France, Russia, and the United States. Even though it is new to the U.S., it can be a hearty grower and has been listed as an invasive weed in the state of Washington.
 
Clary Sage essential oil with its herbaceous and slightly floral aroma, blends well with many other oils.  Add to your choice of citrus oils for an uplifting diffuser blend. It is also one oil that is known as a staple for many women.  Try blending with Roman Chamomile, Lavender, and Sweet Marjoram and properly dilute for a comforting women’s massage blend.
