VEO can be applied to treat neurological, psychiatric, dermatological, and musculoskeletal disorders. VEO has low toxicity and no carcinogenic effect. VEO has some pharmacological mechanism in medical treatments. The possible mechanisms are gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) potentiation, antioxidant, antiinflammation, anti-stress, tissues regeneration, anti-microbe, and cytotoxic against cancer.
