You must have often used camphor during worship or seen someone using it. It is believed that burning camphor removes negativity. At present, camphor is used in religious, astrology and Vaastu related remedies. Apart from this, it is effective in reducing respiratory problems, cold etc., making the skin healthy and protecting it from insects and bacteria. You just need to know how it is used. So let us know in what other ways you can use camphor apart from worship rituals.
Camphor is naturally made from the wood and bark of a tree. This process is called steam distillation. In this, wood or bark is dried, cut into pieces and heated with steam, due to which the steam cools and changes into crystals. Pure camphor is rich in many properties, hence it is beneficial in many ways.
Camphor works to reduce skin blemishes. It is also useful in reducing ringworm and itching. If you have itching, then to get relief from it, take some camphor and mix it with coconut oil and apply it. If you want to apply camphor on the face, you can apply it mixed with sandalwood powder, but during that time do not stay in the sun or in excessive heat. Clean the face after 10 minutes.

Camphor is effective in keeping pests away from your house. For example, if small cockroaches or insects are found in kitchen cabinets or cupboards, then tie a camphor tikki in a cotton or muslin cloth and keep it at various places. This keeps bad smells away and there is no fear of insects.
In the morning and evening, you should burn a little desi ghee, cloves, cinnamon and dry incense along with camphor in your house and show smoke. This is not just a ritual, but it also removes the bacteria present in the air and also spreads a nice fragrance in the house which gives peace to your mind.
Use of camphor can provide relief from cold. It reduces swelling, opens blocked nose and also reduces cough. For this, you can heat water, add camphor in it and take steam. Grind camphor in a cloth, add some roasted celery to it and smell the slightly warm bundle.
