Camphora (camphor) is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpene. Historically, it was used as a cardiovascular stimulant (as a cardiotonic) and for its mild analgesic and rubefacient properties. Camphor is now rarely used therapeutically, as safer alternatives are available, and its medical use is largely historical or limited to some traditional medicines.
