Clary sage, an herbaceous biennial (a short-lived perennial with a lifespan of two years). It is native to the Mediterranean Basin and can be found in a few places in North Africa and Central Asia. As a garden plant, it grows well in poor, dry soil, and thrives with plenty of sunlight.
Clary Sage is a common aromatherapy oil, and the fragrance is green and floral in character. This plant has many “claimed benefits” however, for the purpose of this project it is the green, fresh floral scent that I desire.
In the research paper Sadness might isolate you in a non-smelling world: olfactory perception and depression (Schablitzky, S. & Pause, B. 2014), it was concluded that individuals who deal with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) seem to have a correlation to individuals who have lost their sense of smell. The World Health Organization predicts MDD is a global issue that we all need to be aware of.
This is the specific research I refer to in the connection to using scent to increase wellness and to aid in some symptoms associated with MDD.
