Hello... does anyone here know what part of the clary sage plant to harvest and what uses are?


A friend of mine was able to grow some clary sage for me from seed (see the new pictures here: edibleandmedicinalplants.tribe.net/photos/f9eb90f8-5196-4560-b0f1-972ff46e4acb)

Thanks!

    harvest the flowering tops and use them in an oil infusion. I like using clary sage, geranium and lavender in
    a grapeseed infusion for massage and general hydration during PMS and menstruation; very balancing.

    Rubbing the infusion on your abdomen, breasts and lower back is recommended.

    Also, the older the clary sage plant the better so, if you can keep it growing for the next couple of years,
    your oils will have that much more concentration of constituents.
