The
terpene borneol has been used traditionally in Chinese medicine for
centuries. Borneol is found in cinnamon, thyme and the resin of
cannabis. Borneol is a pleasing scent of camphor and earthiness which
is a natural insect repellent.
The
traditional use has been used with moxibustion, a form of acupuncture
or burning directly on a patients skin. This approach has clinically
shown help with breached babies.(Source)
Used in Asia for cardiovascular
disease it has been found to be an anticoagulant.(Source)
Research has also shown that borneol helps with inflammation,(Source)
elimination of odors and pain management.(Source)
One
of the most beneficial uses of borneol is how it helps with wound
healing. Borneol can reduce the blood brain barrier similar to the
terpene myrcene.
This allows other medications to penetrate and absorb more
readily.(Source)
This function allows for a profound increase in wound
healing.(Source)
Fibrosis
has been traditionally thought to be irreversible. It is the
increase in tissue around wounds. Fibrosis can lead to benign tumors,
Crohn's
disease, cirrhosis and a precursor for cancer. New research has
shown that borneol can reverse fibrosis.(Source)
