Camphor is a kind of wax with analgesic and antiseptic properties obtained from the camphor tree belonging to the Cinnamomum camphora species.

So, Camphor is not only used to relieve chest congestion and inflammatory conditions as we used to know. Please consider never taking camphor internally or apply it to broken skin, as it can be toxic. As we know, it has a strong odor and absorbs very quickly into the skin. 

Although it's used for certain industrial processes, camphor can also be found in creams, lotions, or personal care products in small, recommended doses.
