History: The word “camphor” can be traced back to the Sanskrit “karpuura,” and was used for many purposes, from deodorant to non-edible preservative. It is mentioned in the Koran as a flavoring for drinks. Camphor is also widely used in Hindu religious ceremonies. Hindus worship a holy flame by burning camphor, which forms an important part of many religious ceremonies. Camphor is used in the Mahashivratri celebrations of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and (re)creation. As a natural pitch substance, it burns cool without leaving an ash residue, which symbolizes consciousness.
