What is Borneol?
Borneol is a bicyclic monoterpene with a strong camphor-like aroma that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. In cannabis, it contributes a cooling, herbal scent that adds medicinal character to strain profiles. Research shows Borneol has potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, and it may enhance the absorption of other compounds by improving their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. It also demonstrates sedative effects and natural insect-repelling properties. Strains with Borneol tend to have deeply relaxing, physically soothing effects.
