What many people don’t know is the side effects that Camphor can
cause.
Camphor is a waxy, flammable, transparent solid with a strong aroma.
It is found in the wood of the Camphor laurel, a large evergreen tree found in
Asia. It used to be made by distilling the bark and wood of the Camphor Tree.
However, these days most Camphor is chemically manufactured and synthetic.
Using Camphor can cause side effects such as skin redness and
irritation. Burming of the mouth and throat, nausea, and vomiting. For more
severe cases, Camphor can even cause diarrhea, CNS depression and even death.
Toxic effects
appear after the ingestion of approximately 2g (lethal dose adults: 4 g,
children: 0.5-1 g, infants: 70 mg/kg of pure camphor).
We
strongly urge our fellow mummies to be wary when using products containing
Camphor Oil. Camphor is a very toxic compound which can prove
fatal for infants and children on ingestion even in very small doses.
At
Twinkle, we only use products made with Natural Ingredients.
