I don't remember but I would assume so. We never had clean ice so making a cool drink if it was out or the question and I'm not man enough to drink it straight out of the bottle.

my dad used to use it to rub us with if we had flu - also when my friends ankle swelled up she was advised to get some rum and put some camphors squares in it to soak and rub it on her ankle - she did that and the swelling went down.

also it is good to put on mosquito bites.

I dab it on pressure points when I have a headache.

Use it to calm my cough when I get my yearly spring pneumonia like cough.
