The invention relates to new medical application of cedrol (CE), in particular to new application thereof in preparing medicaments for relieving pain and treating arthritis. The cedrol is alpha-cedrolThe invention relates to new medical application of cedrol (CE), in particular to new application thereof in preparing medicaments for relieving pain and treating arthritis. The cedrol is alpha-cedrol, beta-CE or raceme of the two in any proportion, and the total effective dose of the cedrol is between 1 and 100 mg / kg / d. The CE is extracted from natural plants extensive in sources. The invention a, beta-CE or raceme of the two in any proportion, and the total effective dose of the cedrol is between 1 and 100 mg / kg / d. The CE is extracted from natural plants extensive in sources. The invention adopts rat-paw chondrus inflammation-inducing method and adjuvant arthritis to observe the anti-inflammatory effects of the CE, and results show that the CE has obvious effect of inhibiting nonspecificdopts rat-paw chondrus inflammation-inducing method and adjuvant arthritis to observe the anti-inflammatory effects of the CE, and results show that the CE has obvious effect of inhibiting nonspecific inflammation reaction caused by carrageenin and also has remarkable effect of treating and preventing the adjuvant arthritis. The invention adopts a tail-flick method to observe the analgesic effectsinflammation reaction caused by carrageenin and also has remarkable effect of treating and preventing the adjuvant arthritis. The invention adopts a tail-flick method to observe the analgesic effectsof the CE, and results show that the CE has remarkable analgesic effects on the light-heat stimulated tails of rats. The invention provides a raw material for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, w of the CE, and results show that the CE has remarkable analgesic effects on the light-heat stimulated tails of rats. The invention provides a raw material for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, which is exact in therapeutic effects, safe, convenient and extensive in sources, and can be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers so as to prepare a cedrol pharmaceutical comphich is exact in therapeutic effects, safe, convenient and extensive in sources, and can be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers so as to prepare a cedrol pharmaceutical composition or preparation.osition or preparation.
