Camphor has been used for its scent, as an embalming fluid, as topical medication, as a manufacturing chemical, and in religious ceremonies.
Camphor has been used as a folk medicine over centuries, probably most commonly as a decongestant. Camphor was used in ancient Sumatra to treat sprains, swellings, and inflammation. Camphor also was used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for various purposes. In Europe, camphor was used after the Black Death era.
In the 20th century, camphor was used as an analeptice by injection, and to induce seizures in schizophrenic people in an attempt to treat psychosis.
Camphor has limited use in veterinary medicine by intramuscular injection to treat breathing difficulties in horses.
