Camphor Essential Oil is a top note with a strong, penetrating, fragrant odour distilled from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree. It can be used topically to relieve pain, irritation, and itching. Camphor is also used to relieve chest congestion and inflammatory conditions. It has a strong odor and taste and is easily absorbed through the skin. Camphor oil blends well with Basil, Cajuput, Chamomile, Melissa, and Lavender oil for uses in aromatherapy. The strong penetrating aroma of camphor oil is a powerful decongestant. It can immediately relieve congestion of the bronchi, larynx, pharynx, nasal tracts, and lungs. It is, therefore, used in many decongestant balms and cold rubs.
