The plant is also used in perfumery and aromatherapists use it for its warming, uplifting and soothing properties to relieve tension, stress, muscular aches and period pains. Interestingly enough, in old folk medicine, strongly mixed with the lore of country magic, the ruling body for the clary sage is the moon, linked to its cycles and, for that reason, used to aid and regulate the menstrual cycle. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-27 20:16:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- clary sage, to be quite precise Reference: http://www.menumagazine.co.uk/book/azsage.htm |
