Benefits

Camphora helps restore body warmth, improves circulation in cases of sudden chilliness, supports recovery from faintness or collapse, and eases respiratory congestion. It is also helpful in reducing nausea, diarrhoea and sudden weakness associated with acute illnesses.

Key Indications

Camphora is indicated in extreme coldness of the body, sudden weakness or collapse, fainting spells, low pulse, cold sweats, winter aggravations, respiratory tightness, congestive headaches, nausea, diarrhoea and symptoms that improve with warmth. It is often used in emergencies where the patient feels icy cold, exhausted and drained.

Dosage & Administration

Camphora is commonly taken in diluted homeopathic potencies such as 6C, 30C or 200C, usually two to three times a day depending on the severity of symptoms. In acute conditions, more frequent doses may be recommended as directed by a physician. Pellets should be allowed to dissolve under the tongue and should be taken away from food, strong smells, or beverages like tea and coffee.
