Camphor oil is potentially harmful, and it is crucial to follow instructions for use carefully.
If a person takes it orally, it can cause burning of the mouth and throat, vomiting, and nausea. Also, camphor oil can sometimes cause skin redness and irritation.
Safety guidelines warn against applying camphor products:
- • to wounds
- • to any other broken skin
- • to the eyes or surrounding skin
It is always important to follow instructions for use carefully. Also, consult a doctor before using any product that contains camphor on an infant.
In addition, anyone who is currently taking medication should check with a healthcare provider before using camphor products.
Finally, it is a good idea to test for a reaction by applying the product to a small area of skin first before using it more widely. *
