Clary Sage:
Clary sage (Salvia sclarea), native to the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Central Asia, has a rich history of medicinal, spiritual, and culinary use dating back to ancient times. The Greeks and Romans were among the first to document its healing properties, especially for eye conditions, calling it "Clear Eye" or "Oculus Christi." During the Middle Ages, it was cultivated in monastic gardens across Europe for its digestive and menstrual remedies, and also held magical significance as an aphrodisiac and protector against evil. In the Renaissance, herbalists like John Gerard praised its effectiveness in treating eye ailments, and it was used as a hops substitute in beer brewing. By the 18th and 19th centuries, clary sage became a key ingredient in perfumes and essential oils, valued for its calming effects in aromatherapy and folk medicine. Throughout its history, clary sage has been symbolically associated with healing, insight, and vision, embodying both physical and spiritual clarity.

Marjoram:

Marjoram (Origanum majorana), an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean and parts of Western Asia, has been cultivated and valued for thousands of years for its culinary, medicinal, and spiritual uses. The ancient Egyptians revered marjoram as a symbol of happiness and would use it in rituals and embalming practices. In ancient Greece and Rome, marjoram was associated with love, peace, and prosperity, often woven into wedding wreaths and garlands. Greek physician Hippocrates documented its medicinal properties, particularly for respiratory and digestive ailments. During the Middle Ages, marjoram became a staple in European herb gardens, where it was used for flavoring food, treating headaches, and soothing stomach issues. It was also believed to protect against witchcraft and evil spirits. By the Renaissance, marjoram’s popularity in cooking spread, especially in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where it added a warm, sweet flavor to soups, meats, and stews. In the 18th and 19th centuries, marjoram continued to be used in herbal medicine and was recognized for its calming effects in teas and tinctures.

Rosemary:

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), native to the Mediterranean, has been cherished for its culinary, medicinal, and symbolic uses for millennia. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was associated with memory, learning, and loyalty, with Greek students wearing rosemary garlands to boost memory, while Romans used it in religious rituals and as a symbol of fidelity. During the Middle Ages, rosemary was believed to ward off evil spirits and the plague, and was commonly used in herbal remedies for headaches, digestion, and joint pain. In Renaissance Europe, it symbolized love and remembrance, frequently appearing in weddings and perfumes. By the 18th and 19th centuries, rosemary's medicinal value was widely recognized, and it was used to improve memory and stimulate hair growth.
