🍃 Terpene Spotlight: Borneol 🍃

Borneol is a naturally occurring terpene recognized for its camphorous, minty, and herbal aroma. It is found in several plants including rosemary, mint, and camphor-producing species.

In laboratory research, borneol has been studied for antioxidant and neuroprotective activity. Studies have also explored its interactions with GABAergic and cholinergic signaling pathways, which are involved in neurological communication within the body.

Pharmacological research has investigated borneol for its potential role in modulating blood–brain barrier permeability, as well as anti-inflammatory activity observed in experimental models. In complex plant profiles, borneol is often present alongside other terpenes and phytochemicals.

Understanding terpene chemistry can help patients better interpret aroma profiles, plant compounds, and product labeling when exploring options at licensed dispensaries.

At The Higher Care Clinic, we focus on clear, compliant patient education to help individuals better understand plant compounds and navigate state medical programs.

Sleep affects more than just how rested you feel.

Quality sleep plays an important role in brain function, memory, hormone balance, energy regulation, cardiovascular health, and physical recovery.

March is National Sleep Month, a good time to check in on your sleep habits and overall wellness routine.

Some patients explore plant-based therapies as part of their nighttime routine when guided by a physician and used responsibly. Finding the right terpene profile, strain, or formulation may help support relaxation and sleep readiness for some individuals.

Oxygen therapy sessions are also commonly used to support circulation, relaxation, and recovery, which many people incorporate into their wellness routines.

Everyone’s body is different, which is why education and proper guidance matter.

At The Higher Care Clinic, our licensed physicians provide evaluations, and our team helps guide patients through the process with clear, supportive education.

Missouri med card holders will receive renewal reminder notices at 60, 45, 30, and 15 days before their ID card expiration date. These notifications are sent through the online registry portal to the email address used when registering for and logging into the system.

The window to submit a patient or caregiver renewal application opens 60 days before the expiration date, but patients are encouraged to submit no later than 30 days before expiration.

The system does allow submissions after the 30-day window, however the Department has up to 30 days to process an application, so renewals submitted late may not be completed before the current ID card expires.

Important tip:
After receiving the 60-day renewal notification, wait 24 hours before submitting your renewal application through the registry portal.

At The Higher Care Clinic, our licensed physician provides patient evaluations and guidance to help Missouri patients navigate the renewal process.

OMMA Patient Update

Due to issues with the new OMMA portal after recent updates, the Oklahoma Medical Ma*****na Authority (OMMA) has clarified that patients may use their approval email as a temporary patient license once their application has been approved.

If your application is approved, you can present:

✔️ Your OMMA approval email
✔️ A valid government-issued photo ID

This allows approved patients to verify their status while waiting for their physical patient license card to arrive in the mail.

Important tips for patients navigating the new portal:

• If you experience issues on a mobile device, try using a computer instead.
• Older Thentia-hosted links are no longer active. Make sure you are using the new OMMA MedPortal link.
• The 14-day processing window for patient applications remains in effect, but patients are encouraged to monitor the portal regularly for updates.

At The Higher Care Clinic, we help guide patients through OMMA applications, renewals, and portal navigation.
