Here’s a trade secret, Camphor is the main ingredient in many pain-relieving products such as: Tiger Balm, Bengay, Icy Hot and Biofreeze. Camphor essential oil has been shown to be effective in pain relief when applied topically and can be used to treat post workout soreness and muscle aches. It can also be used to relieve congestion and soothe respiratory symptoms.  

What are the benefits? 

Camphor has a wide variety of topical uses due to its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

What are the risks?  

Camphor essential oil should never be taken internally because it can cause serious side effects and even death. Do not heat camphor essential oil. Do not use undiluted camphor or products containing more than 11 percent camphor. Never start any holistic modality without first contacting your physician to discuss the risks and benefits.
