What is the function of camphor

I believe many people are familiar with camphor. The most common one is mothballs, which is also the most widely used in our daily life. People usually put mothballs in the closet to drive away odors in the closet. This is also the most common function of camphor. However, people don’t know much about the function of camphor. Below, I will briefly introduce to you the specific functions of camphor.

Camphor is mainly extracted from camphor tree trunks, and the age of the tree is directly proportional to the camphor content. Normally, we like to use camphor as an insecticide or pain reliever in our lives. It can also remove odor caused by sweaty feet.

It is used to treat abdominal distension and pain, athlete's foot, sores, scabies, toothache, and trauma. Another use is the well-known insect repellent effect, because camphor is an insecticide poison and insects dare not approach.

It can prevent insects, but it is also poisonous. When opening the wardrobe, do not inhale. Camphor is a volatile substance and is carcinogenic. Make a circle of mothballs and the ants will really be unable to get out. Because the smell of camphor cuts off and destroys the scent left by the ants as they crawl past, the ants cannot find the route they came from.

It is mainly used to prevent insects, such as cockroaches, and protect clothes from being eaten by insects. It is recommended that you take out the clothes and hang them up to dry before each season, because the clothes will have a strange smell over time.

The above is what I introduced to you about the effects of camphor. I believe you have a certain understanding of camphor. But I would also like to remind everyone that because camphor has a unique smell, experts and scholars believe that the smell of camphor is harmful to the human body. Especially for children, parents must put mothballs out of children's reach to ensure their safety, and never let children play with mothballs.
