    hello friends,

    i heard mixing camphor in oil and massaging it to scalp keeps flakes and dandruff away and cleans, cools and strengthens the roots of hair. is it true?

    any one tried this?

    Hi...
    powdered camphor is mixed with hot coconut oil and applied in a small amount to treat cold...
    never knew that it could be used for hair ....
    but i personally am not sure whether its safe :bonk

    Hi sirisyam...yes they apply on the chest and show near the nose....i have applied this on my kid and no issues,...have recommended the same to few others too...vicks or someother lotion could be harsh/irritate the skin of an infant....hence this was the home remedy recommended for kids....
    the main thing that i do is i dont add too much of camphor...it would be like diluted mix of camphor and coconut oil...more of oil and less of camphor....
