Answers:
Currently, camphor is mostly used as a flavoring for sweets in Asia!. In ancient and medieval Europe it was widely used as ingredient for sweets but it is now mainly used for medicinal purposes!. Camphor was used as a flavoring in confections resembling ice cream in China during the Tang dynasty (A!.D!. 618-907)!.[citation needed] Camphor is widely used in cooking (mainly for dessert dishes) in India where it is known as Pachha Karpooram (literally meaning "green camphor" though "Pachha" in Tamil can also be translated to mean "raw" which is "Pachha Karpooram's" intended meaning)!. It is widely available at Indian grocery stores and is labeled as "Edible Camphor!." In Hindu poojas and ceremonies, camphor is burned in a ceremonial spoon for performing aarti!. This type of camphor is also sold at Indian grocery stores but it is not suitable for cooking!. The only type that should be used for food are those which are labeled as "Edible Camphor!." It warm the stomach but really does not cut your sex drive!. A cold shower might be your best bet!. Sorry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
