Sailender01 Apr, 2022Health

There is no proof that camphor, clove, or ajwain can increase blood oxygen or provide relief during respiratory distress, but it just works as a feel-good therapy, and some studies suggest that they do not affect nasal decongestion. An annual report on clinical toxicology also warned against the inhalation or eating of non-medicinal doses of camphor. Such inhalation or ingestion can lead to severe poisoning within a few minutes. The adverse effect on children can be more serious.
