The role of borneol
1. Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory
There are two types of borneol: synthetic and natural. Experiments have shown that borneol has the same strong antibacterial effects, no matter how synthetic or natural it is. The anti-inflammatory effects of isoborneol in croton oil are also possible. It can reduce fluid edema.
2. Shade removal and improvement of eyesight
Borneolum has a pungent taste and is cold in nature. It belongs to the liver, heart, spleen and lungs. It can revive and refresh the mind and reduce shadows to improve vision. The majority of eye protection patches available on the market are made with ice flakes.
3. Induction of pregnancy
Inducing labor in the first trimester with early borneol is not possible. Induction of labor occurs in the second trimester, however. Experts have noted that borneol is an effective anti-fertility drug.
4. Oxygen supplement
Animal experiments have shown that borneol can increase hypoxic tolerance in mice. Also activates adrenaline. This experiment was not clinical and further research is needed to draw the appropriate conclusions.
