15ml Camphor White Essential Oil(Shipping Free) Information: Camphor White
Botanical Name:Cinnamomum camphora
Description: The Camphor Tree, or Camphor Laurel, is native to Taiwan,
southern Japan, and southeast China and indochina. It is cultivated for
a substance also known as camphor, in a solid, waxy form. It can be
used medicinally and was actually once used as an ingredient in a
smokeless gunpowder. It is obtained from the wood and bark of the trees
as they are chipped and steamed, which caused the camphor to become
crystalized and then harvested.
Common Uses: Camphor is widely used in cooking and aromatherapy today
and is known for it's properties to brighten mood and alleviate
nervousness. It is also known for being an antispetic and laxative as
well as having properties that ward off insects.
Cautions: Camphor in certain concentrations can be toxic so we advise to
use it with care. Should be avoided by pregnant women as well as people
suffering from asthma or epilepsy or those with fragile conditions
unless under the direction of a medical professional. Overdose can
cause vomiting and/or convulsions.
