Dilute camphor well when
using as a massage oil

Camphor is a strong remedy that while not expensive, should be used wisely, and only when needed. It has almost a duel action of hot and cold, and seems to have a balancing effect on the yin and yang energies. Applied externally camphor numbs the peripheral nerve endings. This analgesic effect of camphor makes it a favorite oil to be used in pain relieving massage blends for sore muscles and arthritic pain. Camphor oil helps stimulate circulation to cold and stiff limbs.

The oil is a very useful ingredient in inhalations for coughs, colds and difficulties in breathing. Camphor also acts as an expectorant and a febrifuge, meaning that it cools fevers and helps clear lung congestion. These actions, along with camphor's anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial properties make it a very useful and popular remedy for colds, flu, and bronchitis.

Camphor can be blended with lavender, or tea tree in antibacterial and astringent blends to combat oily skin and acne.
