Camellia oil is known as "confinement oil". In Taiwan and Fujian, women must eat camellia oil during pregnancy.

In order to ensure the nutrition needed for the development of themselves and the fetus in the belly, pregnant women must eat rich food. Camellia oil is high in oleic acid, which is very helpful in preventing pregnancy-induced hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia after 6 months of pregnancy.

It is very important for brain development in infants and young children, directly determines memory and thinking ability, and plays an important role in the maturation of retinal photoreceptor cells.
