Sclareol is the main component in the concrete, obtained by solvent extraction of Salvia sclarea L. Leaves (Clary Sage). The purpose of the research is to develop an environmentally responsible process to extract sclareol from Salvia sclarea L., more commonly known as Clary Sage.

In these studies, sclareol was found to induce cancer cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, sclareol is said to promote a calming effect on the nervous system and has been reported to relieve muscle spasms and menopausal (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/)
