Observed Effects of Salvia Sclarea on Inflammation

A study conducted in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem highlights the benefits of Salvia Sclarea in comparison with Omega 3 oils found in other food sources such as pure ALA, fish oil, and flaxseed oil—among many others.

The experiment showed that the health benefits of Salvia Sclarea oil are not entirely associated with Omega 3, but may also be attributed to other ingredients naturally found in the extracted oil.

The research, which involved pre-clinical experiments, highlighted the following major findings:
Rats infected with TBNS-induced colitis or DSS-induced colitis were administered with either fish oil or sage oil, which are both rich sources of polyunsaturated Omega3 fatty acids. The two in-vivo models of colitis infection were monitored and the effects of the Salvia Sclarea oil and fish oil were recorded. Results of the test in rats infected with Colitis showed significant reduction in the colon tissue damage.
