Ibn al-Qayyim's Commentary

Ibn al-Qayyim classifies camphor as strongly cooling, useful in classical medicine for reducing fever-related heat, though he cautions it is far more potent than foods like ginger and must be used sparingly.

Caution

Camphor is toxic in even modest oral doses and unsafe for children — modern use should be limited to well-diluted, externally-applied cosmetic products only, never ingested.
