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.
