Sclareol

Sclareol is a fragrant chemical compound found in Salvia sclarea, from which it derives its name. It is classified as a bicyclic diterpene alcohol. It is an amber colored solid with a sweet, balsamic scent.[1] Sclareol is also able to kill human leukemic cells and colon cancer cells by apoptosis.[2][3]

It has been considered that sclareol contained in clary sage oil has estrogen-like effects and is effective for amenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, and hot flashes during menopause.

In an experiment in which sclareol was dissolved in jojoba oil and applied to mice, sclareol was detected in the blood (transdermal absorption) 30 minutes after application.[4] In this study, higher concentrations of sclareol were detected in liver homogenates than in blood. Although sclareol accumulation in the liver was suggested, it was concluded that no acute liver dysfunction was seen because AST and ALT were not elevated.
