CAMPHOR is very
useful and effective healing Coughs, Colds, Fevers, Rheumatism, Arthritis.
This
white, intensely scented, crystalline substance is distilled from a tree native
to China and Japan. The essential oil is steam-distilled from wood, root stumps,
and branches. Both the leaf and crystallized extract are used for wet lung
conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Camphor is useful in depression,
exhaustion, and stomach cramps and to improve circulation.
Use
about two teaspoons of leaf per cup of water and steep for twenty minutes. Take
one-fourth cup four times a day. Alternatively, use one teaspoon of the
crystallized extract per two cups of water. Take it in one-teaspoon doses four
times a day. The tincture is also available and is used in doses of five to ten
drops four times a day. Camphor is incorporated into salves for external use to
kill parasites and treat ringworm, scabies, and itch.
The
oil open the lungs, making breathing easier, and helps with muscular and joint
pain, arthritis, and bruises (not for open wounds). The salve functions as a
"smelling salt," and the herb has been used internally to revive
those in coma or delirium. Camphor can be burned to purify the air or inhaled
to open lung passages.
