Clary sage is an herb. The flowers, leaves, and essential oil are used to make medicine. Don't confuse clary sage with sage leaf (Salvia officinalis). Clary sage is used for upset stomach and other digestive disorders, kidney diseases, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), symptoms of menopause, anxiety, stress, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. In foods and beverages, the oil from clary sage is used as a flavoring agent. In manufacturing, the oil from clary sage is used as a fragrance in soaps and cosmetics.
