Borneol

Aroma: Menthol, camphor, herbal, minty

Overview

Borneol is a bicyclic monoterpenoid with a sharp, minty camphor aroma used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. It is one of the few terpenes demonstrated to improve delivery of other compounds across the blood-brain barrier, potentially enhancing the therapeutic effects of cannabinoids. Research shows borneol has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, and it may help reduce insomnia.
