Heraclenol is primarily used in traditional herbal medicine due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has shown potential in supporting liver health and is sometimes included in formulations aimed at detoxification. Research suggests it may help modulate immune responses, making it a subject of interest in developing natural remedies for allergic reactions and respiratory conditions. It is also investigated for its antioxidant effects, which could contribute to cellular protection and aging-related health support. Applications are mostly found in nutraceuticals, herbal extracts, and experimental phytopharmaceuticals.
