Clary Sage's backstory

With uses that are documented as far back as the Middle Ages, clary sage has been made famous for its calming properties and skin-soothing benefits. The main chemical component of this herb is linalyl acetate – a naturally occurring phytochemical that gives oils such as clary sage and lavender their positive effects.
