Camphor

(Cinnamomum Camphora)

Camphor is typically a large evergreen tree that produces camphor oil through steam distillation of its wood. The oil is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, woody, and slightly medicinal aroma.

Camphor has been integral to traditional medicine in Asia for centuries. It is well-known for its use in balms and liniments for soothing respiratory issues and muscle pain. Camphor oil is also used as a moth repellent and a preservative due to its strong aroma and antiseptic properties. It is an active ingredient in our Joint & Muscle Pain Relief Oil, Menstrual Pain Relief Oil and Headache Relief Roll On that helps in pain relief.
