Effects of Zhangmu Tree

When I was in the countryside, I saw many families often planted camphor trees. I thought that camphor trees were not very good because they could not bloom beautiful flowers and had no other fragrance. They were just ordinary trees. In fact, camphor trees have many benefits, such as treating rheumatism and promoting digestion. They have high medicinal value for many diseases.

The benefits of camphor wood are: eliminating rheumatism, unblocking meridians, relieving pain, and helping digestion. It is used for rheumatic pain, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, abdominal distension caused by cholera, indigestion, and trauma. It can clear the meridians, relieve stagnant qi, eliminate filth and turbidity, kill insects and relieve itching, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is used to treat fever, coma, sudden collapse due to poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain; beriberi caused by cold and dampness; scabies and stubborn ringworm; baldness; frostbite; ecthyma; burns caused by water or fire; bruises and pain; toothache; and red eyes caused by wind and fire. The wood of camphor tree is deeply loved by the people and is an important economic tree species for extracting spices.
