Health Benefits and Uses

Borneol provides a highly beneficial intersection of Western and Eastern medicine. The effect of Borneol is widespread in the treatment of various ailments. In Chinese Medicine, it is associated with the liver, spleen meridians, heart, and lungs. Below is a list of some of its many health benefits.

Fights respiratory illness and lung disease

Many studies suggest terpenes, and Borneol, in particular, effectively reduce respiratory illness. Borneol has demonstrated efficacy in reducing inflammation of the lungs by reducing inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory infiltration. Individuals practicing Chinese Medicine also commonly use Borneol to treat bronchitis and similar ailments.

Anticancer properties

Borneol has also demonstrated anticancer properties by increasing the action of Selenocysteine (SeC). This reduced cancerous spread through apoptotic (programmed) cancer cell death. In many studies, Borneol has also shown increased efficiency of antitumor drug targeting.

Effective analgesic

In a study considering postoperative pain in people, topical Borneol application led to significant pain reduction compared to a placebo control group. Additionally, acupuncturists tend to use Borneol topically for its analgesic properties.

Anti-inflammatory action

Borneol has demonstrated blocking certain ion channels that promote pain stimulus and inflammation. It also aids in pain relief from inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Neuroprotective effects

Borneol offers some protection from neuronal cell death in the event of an ischemic stroke. It also facilitates the regeneration of brain tissue and repair. It is proposed to have this neuroprotective effect by altering the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.

Fights stress and fatigue

Some users of cannabis strains with higher Borneol levels suggest that it decreases their stress levels and reduces tiredness, thus, allowing for a state of relaxation without full sedation. Individuals who practice Chinese Medicine also acknowledge its stress relief potential.

Entourage effect

As with other terpenes, the effects of Borneol in combination with the cannabinoids of cannabis have demonstrated the entourage effect. This occurs when the compounds work together to give some heightened therapeutic benefit. Borneol can increase blood-brain barrier permeability, allowing for easier passing of therapeutic molecules to the central nervous system.

Aside from Borneol’s many medicinal applications, it is also commonly used in insect repellents due to its natural toxicity to many bugs. Perfumeries also manipulate Borneol for its pleasant scent to humans.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

Borneol is often considered a secondary terpene in cannabis, meaning that it appears in relatively minor amounts. These lower doses of Borneol are thought to be relatively safe. However, in isolated high doses or long-term exposure, Borneol can have some potential risks and side effects, including:

•     Skin irritation
•     Irritation of the nose and throat
•     Headache
•     Nausea and vomiting
•     Dizziness
•     Light-headedness
•     Fainting

With extremely high Borneol exposure, individuals can experience:

•     Restlessness
•     Agitation
•     Inattention
•     Seizures
•     If swallowed, it can be highly toxic

It is important to note that the amount present in cannabis is unlikely to cause these symptoms. Irritation also does not occur with the relatively small doses used for analgesia and other effects.
