Camphor Essential Oil 1/4th Oz. (Cinnamomum Camphora)
Product Details
Camphor essential oil boasts a unique set of properties in the
realm of aromatherapy. Its invigorating, medicinal scent is often described as
clean, sharp, and penetrating. This powerful aroma is believed to be
stimulating and mentally clarifying. When diffused, Camphor can help ease
feelings of sluggishness and fogginess, promoting alertness and focus.
Beyond its cerebral benefits, Camphor oil is a favorite for
respiratory relief. Its decongestant properties can be helpful in clearing
blocked airways and easing coughs and colds. Inhaling Camphor steam (a few
drops added to hot water with a towel over your head) can bring soothing
comfort to a stuffy chest. When diluted and applied topically, Camphor's
anti-inflammatory properties can also be beneficial in reducing muscle aches
and pains.
For aromatherapy purposes, Camphor pairs well with a variety of
oils to enhance its effects. Basil and Eucalyptus share Camphor's decongestant
properties, creating a powerful respiratory blend. For a more relaxing
experience, consider Lavender or Chamomile to balance Camphor's stimulating
nature.
Some practitioners of aromatherapy incorporate Camphor into
their magickal workings. The stimulating and clearing properties of Camphor
align with intentions of purification and mental clarity. It can be diffused
during rituals or meditations focused on removing negativity or sharpening
focus. However, due to its potency, Camphor should be used sparingly and with
caution in any magickal practice.
