Cinnamomum camphora
Arbre riche en camphre provenant de Chine et du Japon, utilisé localement pour soulager la douleur, les affections respiratoires et comme répulsif insectifuge.
Cinnamomum camphora, a camphor-rich tree native to East Asia, is primarily used topically for analgesic and respiratory relief, and as an insect repellent. Its key active compounds include camphor, alpha-pinene, and beta-pinene, with safrole present in trace amounts. Evidence supports its topical use for pain and insect repellency, though internal use is toxic.
Camphor activates TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors on sensory neurons, producing a cooling sensation followed by mild analgesia via desensitization. It also exhibits mild local anesthetic effects by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels. Alpha-pinene and beta-pinene contribute to anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions through inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. Inhalation of camphor vapor may stimulate respiratory secretions and provide decongestant effects via olfactory receptor modulation.
