It depends on how you heat it. If it's combined with other plants and chemicals and is heated through the temperature of a flame, then it can effect the brain when inhaled. It, in simple terms, has the potential to get one high. But if you mean burning the actual substance itself and applying it to the skin, then it will be as harmful as a chemical burn. There's different parts to the camphor plant. If you heat certain parts, they create the smell of the camphor plant, which is used in some aroma therapies practices. And there are different types of camphor plants. Do your research a bit to receive a more specific answer.

∙ 9y agoIn camphor we observe sublimation.
On heating it directly transforms to its vapour state.

How separate the sand and camphor by sublimation process?
Sublimation of camphor occur faster by heating and sand remain.
When camphor changes to gas on heating it is called?
It is called as sublimation............
Is heating liquid honey a change of state?
No. Simply heating honey, while making it less viscus, does not change its state. It remains a liquid. Unless heating is prolonged enough to cause evaporation, the honey will remain a liquid, so no change of state occurs by simply heating.
Is camphor crystalline or amorphous?
Camphor is a crystalline substance.
What are the elements in camphor?
camphor contains hydrogen,nitrogen,oxygen

Does camphor produce CO2 while burning?
Yes, camphor is an organic compound.
On heating sublime substances like iodine and camphor they directly change from solid to gas?
On heating iodine and camphor directly converted into gases and no liquid state is appears in between this process because the intermolecular forces between the molecules in such types of solids is less than ordinary solids, therefore high energy molecules at solid surface over come the attractive forces and directly converted into vapours.
How can you separate salt and camphor?
Camphor is a volatile solid i.e. its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure much below the melting point. But, common salt is non-volatile. Hence, camphor may be very easily separated from common salt by a physical process, SUBLIMATION! props to yahoo answers
Is melting of camphor a physical change?
Melting is always physical.
Car heating not staying hot while driving?
Change your thermostat!
Is heating liquid honey a change of state?
No. Simply heating honey, while making it less viscus, does not change its state. It remains a liquid. Unless heating is prolonged enough to cause evaporation, the honey will remain a liquid, so no change of state occurs by simply heating.
Why don't wood melt on heating?
wood doesn't melt on heating because while heating the compound required to change that substance into liquid gets evaporated quickly when we start heating.
How heating can change the water?
describe how heating can change the water
Is heating potassium bicarbonate a chemical or physical change?
The heating itself is a physical change, a chemical change might come from the heating, however.
Is camphor crystalline or amorphous?
Camphor is a crystalline substance.
