In 1980, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a regulation prohibiting the use of terms such as "camphor oil" and "camphor liniment" on product labels. The regulation also stipulated that the camphor content in all consumer products must not exceed 11%. Currently, in the United States, only powdered and ointment formulations of topical camphor preparations are permitted. However, restrictions on camphor oil vary among other countries.
In addition to being used as an ingredient in powders and ointments, camphor can also be found in cough remedies. It is also frequently added to room vaporizers to help enhance the decongestant effect of moisture.
In addition to being extracted from camphor trees, camphor can also be synthetically produced using turpentine. Besides its medicinal value, camphor has various other uses, including culinary applications, corpse preservation, and as an insect repellent. It effectively repels moths, snakes, and crawling insects. Crystalline camphor can even be placed in chests and books to ward off pests.
Indian religious rituals traditionally include the practice of burning camphor during ceremonies. Since it leaves no residue when extinguished, this practice symbolizes spiritual enlightenment. Although Indian temples today no longer burn camphor indoors, it continues to be used in outdoor religious ceremonies.
