Medicinal application of camellia oil

1. External preparations: Camellia oil is often used in the clinical preparation of external preparations, such as ointments, oils, etc. These external preparations are mainly used to treat skin diseases, burns, scalds, etc. For example, camellia oil is mixed with some Chinese medicinal ingredients with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, such as Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron chinense, to make ointments, which can be used to treat inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema and dermatitis. When treating burns and scalds, directly applying camellia oil or using oils containing camellia oil can relieve pain and promote wound healing. In addition, camellia oil can also be used as a raw material for skin care products to make skin care lotions, creams and other products for daily skin care.

For example, camellia oil is made into soft capsules for patients to take easily. These oral preparations are mainly used to regulate blood lipids, promote digestion, enhance immunity, etc. In addition, in traditional medicine, people often combine camellia oil with other Chinese medicines to make decoctions or pills for the treatment of various diseases.
