It is very important not to confuse clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil with common sage (Salvia officinalis), which is rich in ketones and therefore is almost never used in aromatherapy. Therefore, when purchasing, be sure to pay attention to the Latin name of the plant from which the essential oil was extracted.
