Description:

Camphene is a bicyclic monoterpene. It is a minor constituent of many essential oils such as turpentine, cypress oil, camphor oil, citronella oil, neroli, ginger oil, and valerian. Camphene’s most impressive medical characteristic, is its ability to decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease by lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.

Research

Hypolipidemic – lipid lowering

A 2011 study published in the journal PLOS One demonstrated a connection between camphene and significant reductions in cholesterol and triglycerides in blood serum. Cholesterol and triglycerides are two of the chief causes of heart disease, including heart attacks and strokes. Proving the specific efficacy of individual terpenes, the researchers tested other terpenes, including pinene, beta-caryophyllene (BCP), linalool, and myrcene. It was found that none of these terpenes had the ability to lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides like camphene.
