What is Camphor Essential Oil?

The fresh, medicinal scent of Camphor (Cinnamomum Camphora) reminds you of balms and salves. Times when doctors still carried herbal mixtures in their bags. It's no wonder that there are camphor trees in China that are over a thousand years old.

This Camphor Essential Oil is distilled from the bark of the camphor tree. Camphor oil comes in different colors: white, yellow, brown and blue. Only the white variant is suitable for aromatherapy, the other variants are not safe for body and mind.

Benefits

Fresh scent

The scent of Camphor literally clears the air and encourages you to pause and take a deep breath. The perfect aroma when you could use some harmony and peace, both mentally and physically.

Slows down skin aging

Camphor stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, which can slow down skin aging. A wonderful ingredient for your homemade anti-aging products.

For a massage after sports

Camphor is ideal in a massage oil after sports. No wonder then that camphor is often found in muscle oils and athletes often apply it after an intense work-out. A massage with camphor feels wonderfully refreshing after strenuous exercise.

How do you use it?

Because of the strong effects of Camphor, it is especially important that you always dilute Camphor Essential Oil. The amount of Camphor Essential Oil in your massage oil, facial product or other product should not exceed 1%.

Steaming

Fill a large bowl with hot water and add 1 drop of Camphor Essential Oil, 1 drop of Myrrh Essential Oil and 1 drop of Bergamot Essential Oil. Place a tea towel over your head and lean over the steam for about ten minutes, breathing deeply in and out. You will notice that you feel much fresher afterwards. (Be careful not to burn yourself with the steam).

What makes it so special?

The camphor tree, which naturally occurs in China, has played an important role in Chinese culture for centuries. Camphor has a beautiful mahogany-like color and a fresh scent. Among Asian furniture makers, camphor wood has long been a favorite, and elements in Buddhist temples are often made of this special wood.
