Uses: Traditionally used for prevention of infectious diseases, and for respiratory and nervous conditions.
Therapeutic uses:
Principal use for camphor is to reduce coughs. Camphor oil preparations have been used both internally and externally for a variety of ailments, ranging from respiratory problems to rheumatic pain. Used in smoke, aromatic flavours and in herbaceous, balsamic fragrance compounds.
