Some empirical uses of S. sclarea as a cure for cold ailments of the respiratory apparatus as well as nervous polyarthritis and acute rheumatism [8] led to the hypothesis of an anti-inflammatory action of certain components, in particular the essential oil. With the aim of determining antiinflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties of S. sclarea essential oil, studies were conducted on experimental models of inflammation and pain [35, 46].
