Ants (496)
Termites (1759)
Deer deterred for three (dry) weeks (1810)
 
General Appearance
Several anthills in the meadow were thoroughly watered with Camphora and the ants completely disappeared after 1-2 days. A wooden beam infested with ants was similarly treated in our house. Here too, they quickly disappeared. (496)
 
Roots
The roots feel slimy, the slime being viscid, as is not found on healthy roots. The plant is excessively thirsty (3)
 
Stem/trunk and bark - capillary system
The capillary system does not work property, thus interfering with transport of sugars to the roots and the uptake of nutrients into the plant. Respiration and photosynthesis are consequently defective and the plant slowly withers and collapses. (3)
Termites attacked the Moringa and Camphor trees. ... Use of the homeopathic remedy Camphora saved both the trees from termite attack. In fact, this remedy has been employed to save old wooden furniture and objects from termites attack at many places. (1759)
 
Leaves
Great for leaves covered with a small white granular fungal coating that can be wiped off. Leaves covered with clear sticky honey drops often from aphids. Leaf damage from excessive sunlight. (1810)
 
Flowers

Notes and Academic Papers
As Camphor is a powerful remedy, it should be used with caution, because of severe reactions it produces. It is often prescribed in the lower potencies (3)
Pest control as a preventative and maintenance. Great to apply to new plants before planting in the garden. Deters animals such as deer and pests from nesting and nibbling on young plants and flowers. Works well for ants, aphids, and moths. (1810)
