Background: Clary Sage is native to the Mediterranean and Middle East.

The plant grows three feet high, has square stems, velvety wrinkled

leaves, and light blue or lilac colored flowers. Clary oil is aromatic,

an infusion, or a sticky paste, made from crushed seeds and water to

remove foreign matter from the eyes.

 

Clary Sage in the Cayce Readings

 

 

* Although " clary sage " is not mentioned in the readings, the term

" clary flower " occurs in 21 readings and an alternative spelling

( " claraflower " ) is used in one reading.

 

* Clary flower was most often included as a primary ingredient in

" clary water. " The intended action of clary flower was to settle the

intestinal system, to assist in the elimination of toxic forces, and to

tone the stomach without excessive stimulation. Its action on the

duodenum, pancreas, and gall duct is sedative.

 

* Clary flower was most often combined with gin, ambergris and

cinnamon in a complex formula.

 

* In at least 9 readings, " garden sage " was mentioned as an

equivalent to clary flower. Some experts on the Cayce herbs believe

that Cayce was prescribing " garden sage " when he used the term " clary

flower. " See garden

giving for the jejunum a better activity with that of the coating as is

necessary to prevent seepages in the intestinal tract - as is seen, with

those especially of that in the ambergris, is a coating FOR the

intestinal tract, increasing - as it were, for it acts directly upon the

muco-lining [mucous] of the whole of the intestinal system, stimulated

BY that of the stimuli or alcohol, with the Oil of Juniper - which acts

as a stimuli particularly to the eliminations in the hepatic

circulation, which will prevent toxic forces from acting in system - as

do those vibrations from the ultra-violet to the centers of the nerve

system, as particularly to the solar plexus - which, being as the brain
