Camphor wood has a strange fragrance and can prevent insects. It is often used to make furniture such as cabinets, boxes, cabinets and other furniture to store clothes. However, experts remind that there are also some taboos in using camphor wood furniture.
The volatile gases from camphor contain organic components such as camphor, which have a stimulating effect on the human gastrointestinal mucosa. Once inhaled into the body, it will produce water-soluble metabolites — — oxidized camphor, which has a significant cardiotensin and pressure-enhancing effect. Camphor preparations were therefore widely used as cardiotensin drugs. Therefore, putting camphor wood furniture in the bedroom will affect the quality of sleep, making people excited and even insomnia. Especially in unventilated bedrooms, the problem is even more serious. At the same time, the aromatic smell emitted by camphor wood furniture may also cause symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, nausea, and vomiting.
In addition, camphor also has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis and resisting early pregnancy. If pregnant women come into contact with camphor wood furniture for a long time, they are prone to miscarriage; if infants and young children are stimulated by the smell of camphor wood for a long time, they will also have adverse reactions.
Experts remind that for safety reasons, it is best to place camphor wood furniture in a breathable and ventilated place.
