Camphor Powder
Camphor powder, commonly used topically, is a white crystalline substance derived from the wood of camphor trees or synthesized from turpentine oil. It has a distinctive aroma and is known for its cooling and soothing properties. When applied topically, camphor powder produces a mild numbing effect and provides a sensation of cooling and relief. It is often used in topical ointments, creams, and balms to alleviate minor skin irritations, itching, and inflammation. Camphor powder is also believed to have antimicrobial properties and is sometimes used as an ingredient in acne treatments. However, it is important to use camphor powder topically in appropriate concentrations and with caution, as excessive use or ingestion can lead to adverse effects.Camphor Powder Benefits & Uses
