Clary Sage: Healing Properties and Spiritual Uses

When discussing sage as an incense or a plant used for smudging in various practices and rituals, we are typically referring to White or Californian sage. This plant is highly regarded in shamanic practices and the traditions of Native American cultures. Today, it is often utilized in a range of esoteric practices to cleanse spaces of negativity and harmful energies.

In this article, we will explore another type of sage that is equally fascinating and has been used since ancient times in magic, spiritual rituals, and medicine. This is Clary Sage, known by its Latin name, Salvia sclarea, which is derived from the word “clarus,” meaning “clear” or “pure.” These qualities are what Clary Sage is renowned for.


Sage oil has long been regarded for its potential healing properties. In Europe, women utilized this oil to alleviate menstrual cramps and ease menopausal symptoms. Additionally, ancient Romans employed sage seeds soaked in water for eye cleansing.
