What does it do?

D.L. Camphor is a naturally derived aromatic compound used in dermatological medicines for local analgesia and promoting blood circulation. It is primarily applied topically to stimulate the skin and contribute to pain relief.

When applied to the skin, D.L. Camphor stimulates the skin to locally enhance blood circulation. In this process, the stimulation of pain receptors is reduced, resulting in analgesic effects.
