Studies on topical use suggest usefulness in osteoarthritis, warts, cold sores, hemorrhoids.
It is used topically as an analgesic and antipruritic. It is also used in inhalation therapy as an antitussive and orally as an expectorant, and antiflatulent. It is safe when used in low concentrations 0.1-11 percent for topical use on intact skin. The applicable part of camphor is the wood distillate.
Its counterirritant action is due to vasoconstriction which leads to the activation of reflex mechanisms resulting in improved local circulation.
Adverse effects occur with improper oral use. Significant toxicity (respiratory failure, status epilepticus) has been documented with as little as two grams in adults and 700mg in children.
Topical use is therefore not recommended in infants and should not be applied around the mouth. Oral use is not recommended as well in adults.
