Camphor is used in the treatment of dermatitis, itching and eczema.Camphor belongs to the class of medicines called rubefacients/antitussives. When applied to the skin, it increases blood flow and local temperature of the affected area which suppresses and temporarily relieves pain sensations. It also eases cough, nasal/throat irritation by moistening air passages when used along with steam. Camphor used to be made by distilling the bark and wood of the camphor tree. Today, camphor is chemically manufactured from turpentine oil. It is used in products such as Vicks VapoRub.Camphor products can be rubbed on the skin (topical application) or inhaled. Be sure to read the label to find out how the product should be administered. People use camphor topically to relieve pain and reduce itching. It has also been used to treat fungal infections of the toenail, warts, cold sores, hemorrhoids, and osteoarthritis. Camphor is used topically to increase local blood flow and as a “counterirritant,” which reduces pain and swelling by causing irritation. It is important not to apply camphor to broken skin, because it can enter the body quickly and reach concentrations that are high enough to cause poisoning.Some people use camphor topically to treat respiratory tract diseases and to treat heart disease symptoms. Camphor is also used topically as an eardrop, and for treating minor burns. Some people inhale camphor to reduce the urge to cough.

Diclofenac diethylammonium belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is specially formulated for rubbing into the skin and is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation and swelling in painful conditions affecting the joints and muscles. It can be used to treat muscle and joint injuries (e.g. sprains, strains, bruises, backache, sports injuries), tendonitis (e.g. tennis elbow) and osteoarthritis.
Capsicum, also known as red pepper or chili pepper, is an herb. The fruit of the capsicum plant is used to make medicine.Capsicum is used for various problems with digestion.The Capsicum fruit was probably termed a pepper because of the burning sensation similar to that of black and white pepper spices of the unripened fruit of the unrelated Piper nigrum.
