 In Hindi, Camphor is known as Corpora or Kapoor. This is the oil that is used for medicinal purposes in China, Japan and India. Camphor increases prana, opens up senses and brings clarity to the mind, eases headache and awakens perception. It acts as expectorant, decongestant, stimulant, antispasmodic, bronchodilator, nervine, analgesic, antiseptic. It strongly affects respiratory and nervous system. Camphor mixes well with Rosemary oil, Eucalyptus oil, Frankincense oil, Juniper oil and Wintergreen oil. Camphor should be used only in low dosage (3-5 drops per 0z. of vegetable oil); otherwise it can prove to be pretty harmful. If Camphor is used in excess, it acts as a narcotic poison.
