Camphor Oil Fun Facts

Camphor Oil has a cooling effect on the skin, followed by a warming sensation, which may help alleviate itching and irritation.

During religious ceremonies in India, it is common to burn Camphor as a ritualistic practice in temples.

Due to its minty, refreshing scent, inhaling Camphor Oil may have the potential to alleviate minor congestion.

What is Camphor Oil?

The Camphor tree, indigenous to China and Japan, thrives in subtropical and tropical climates and has been cultivated for centuries, valued for its aromatic and therapeutic qualities.

Camphor trees were initially cultivated for their aromatic and medicinal qualities, leading to the extraction of its powerful oil from its leaves and branches.

With roots in ancient traditions, Camphor Oil was used as a remedy for congestion, infections, and muscle pain. 

In modern times, Camphor Oil's analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties have been incorporated into topical analgesics, muscle balms, and ointments. Its refreshing and minty fragrance creates an invigorating aroma that may help clear the airways and promote a sense of renewal.
