I soak wood balls or chips in Camphor oil, place them in a natural mesh bag and place them in my draws, a natural (chemical free)way to keep bugs away from clothes, I also use camphor for any chest or cold problems mixing it (10 drops to 200 ml)with any of the pure carrier oils before rubbing it on the skin. This recipe is over a 100 years old (from my nan)
