Dear all,

Salvia sclarea commonly known as 'Clary Sage' The distilled essential oil is used widely in perfumes and as a muscatel flavoring for vermouths, wines, and liqueurs. It is also used in aromatherapy for relieving anxiety and fear, menstrual-related problems such as PMS and cramping, and helping with insomnia. The photograph was taken at CIMAP, RC, Purara, Bageshwar and the cultivar is developed by CIMAP and christened as 'CIM-Chandani' with very good prospects for cultivation in hills of India as an essential oil bearing crop. Major constituents of essential oil being linalool and linalyl acetate (higly prized in flvour and fragrance industry).
