Camphor has medicinal properties like antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, cough suppressant, nasal decongestant, and antifungal. It is often used in inhalers and rubs to provide relief from nasal congestion. However, camphor is highly toxic and can irritate your child’s respiratory system when ingested.

According to medical studies, camphor is responsible for acute symptomatic seizures and might also lead to status epilepticus and death. Research has also shown that camphor can enter the little one’s body quickly and reach concentrations that are high enough and cause poisoning.

Now the question is, “What’s the alternative?” You can try natural vapour patches like BabyChakra’s Natural Vapour Patches, which also happens to be India’s first natural vapour patch for babies.

Read on to know more.

Why Should You Say No To Camphor?

Accidental consumption of camphor by children has serious side effects: 

  1. Research suggests that ingestion of camphor by children can lead to hepatoxicity (damage to the liver) and neurotoxicity (damage to the nervous system)
  2. It can also cause eye and skin irritation in children. Inhalation and skin exposure can even cause symptoms like muscular excitability, causing nausea, headache, vomiting, dizziness, convulsions and delirium.
  3. Studies have shown that there have been seizures in children following gastrointestinal, inhalational and dermal exposure to camphor.
