The name is derived from the Latin word claris for 'clear', and by the Middle Ages, it was known as Oculus Christi or the Eye of Christ. During the sixteenth century, it was used in England as a replacement for hops when brewing beer. Clary Sage Oil can be diffused to create a peaceful atmosphere. It is also used in formulating natural perfumes.
