GATHER INGREDIENTS
To follow this step-by-step guide to using camphor, you will need only two things: two camphor tablets and one bowl of water for steam.
BOIL WATER
Firstly, heat one bowl of water until it turns into vapour. Do not make it too hot to cause burns.
ADD CAMPHOR
Put two tablets of camphor (about the size of one pea) into hot water. Allow it to dissolve.
COMFORTABLE SPACE
Sit down in a quiet and comfortable space. Make sure you have a clean towel to wrap around your head.
CREATE STEAM TENT
Place your face over the bowl of hot water, covering it with a towel to make it look like a tent. Ensure that it is sealed to contain the steam.
INHALE THE STEAM
Slowly and deeply breathe in the steam through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Proceed with this activity for 5–10 minutes.
TAKE BREAKS
If it gets overwhelming or unbearable, take breaks and distance yourself from the steam for a while.
FINISH
Once inhaling is done, dab your face dry with a clean towel. Keep the room well-ventilated.
CONCLUSION
Be careful not to use too much camphor. In the event of any negative reactions or if you have respiratory problems, do not attempt this remedy before consulting a doctor.
