Camphor alleviates congestion, improve digestion, and repel insects.  

Camphor is used in various products, including balms, liniments, and ointments, for its pain-relieving and cooling properties. It relieves cramps, spasms and stiffness. It is also used as a flavouring agent and in the production of insecticides and plastics.  

 Camphor is generally safe when used in small amounts, but large amounts can be toxic and cause seizures, confusion, and other symptoms. It should not be ingested or applied directly to the skin, especially in high concentrations. Pregnant women, children, and individuals with liver or kidney disease should avoid using camphor. It can also interact with certain medications, so it is important to speak to a healthcare provider before using it internally or topically.
