Most people use it as an old form of congestion remedy. One of the most popular uses for camphor blocks is in helping to sooth chest complaints. Back to grandma's remedies, it was common for children to wear it hanging around their neck at chest level to ward of any coughs and cold that were around. If you were unfortunate enough to get ill, it could be used in the same way to help clear any congestion on the chest. Camphor blocks have been used for their natural therapeutic properties for years, and for many have even become a symbol of their grandmother's old fashioned remedies. Camphor has many faithful followers and they swear blind by its wonderful healing powers. One should always keep some to hand, for a whole range of purposes. Camphor originally comes from a tree native to Japan and China and is one of the main ingredients in Tiger Balm. If you have ever used Tiger Balm, you'll know how potent and pungent Camphor can be! It can also be found in aromatherapy oil form, where it can be used as massage oil or even for burning. Another way to clear the chest is to wrap Camphor in a pillow case, a stocking or in muslin and place in the bed beneath the sheets. Again, making sure that the Camphor block is wrapped up to avoid direct contact with the skin.
