Camphor is a white transparent waxy crystalline solid with a strong penetrating pungent aromatic smell. It is found in the wood of camphor laurel, Cinnamomum Camphora, which is the large evergreen tree found in Asia particularly in Borneo, it can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine. It is used for its scent as an embalming liquid and for medicinal purposes, it has calming properties.

Modern use includes embalming, as a moth repellent, plasticizer for cellulose nitrate and in fireworks. Camphor is also used in a leading anti-itch gel as its active ingredient. Historically it has been widely used in medicine.

It is easily absorbed by the skin and produces a feeling of cooling that is similar to menthol and acts as a local anesthetic; however, it is poisonous when ingested and can cause seizures, irritability, mental confusion and neuromuscular hyperactivity.
