Country of origin: United States. Camphor is known as an effective insect and moth repellent. Soaking a piece of cloth in camphor and leaving it in the open drives away insects like fleas, mosquitoes, and flies. It is also beneficial for repelling germs from the house and eradicating head lice. Camphor can be added to warm coconut or sesame oil and applied to the body before a shower to relieve swelling, aches, and pains produced by arthritis. Camphor spirits can also be used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, rash, dry, itchy skin, acne, and other forms of skin irritation.
