Camphor commonly known as Kapur, is a white, crystalline substance with a strong odor and a pungent taste. Burning Camphor in the house helps to kill germs and purifies the air as it acts as a natural insecticide.
Camphor consumption in small amounts with jaggery provides relief from cough due to its expectorant activity. It expels the mucus from the lungs and helps ease breathing.
Camphor water is used to manage skin infections due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties. Washing your face regularly with Camphor water prevents bacterial growth and gives you youthful skin. Massaging with Camphor oil mixed with mustard or coconut oil on the scalp helps manage dandruff, itchy scalp and lice infestations.
It is recommended to use Camphor with coconut oil for better medicinal results. Camphor should always be consumed under medical supervision. It is advisable to consume Camphor in small amounts as over dosage of Camphor might cause indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
