Camphor is a terpene with a wide range of medicinal and topical uses, including as a rub for relieving pain, muscle aches, and itching. It has mild anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, making it useful for treating skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Camphor is also used as a decongestant in certain cough and cold preparations. Side effects from topical use may include skin irritation, while ingesting large amounts can lead to toxicity.
