kay1 Â Â 13 #1 Posted December 18, 2011 Do we have any oldies out there who can remember Camphorated Oil? when we had a bad cold my mother used to warm a bottle of Camphorated Oil then rub it on our chest and back when we went to bed to help us breathe my Daughter would love to know if anybody still makes this up, for her to use on her grandchildren. She has tried the vapour rubs you can buy now but insists that they can't touch the warm Camphor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
