100% PURE CAMPHOR ESSENTIAL OIL
An evergreen, twiggy tree with scaly bark and a trunk circumference of up to
5 m – this is camphor. The steam distillation process produces an essential
oil with a "medicinal " aroma from the crushed
wood.
In the countries of its origin, Asia and East Africa, it was a sought-after
aphrodisiac**.
As a distillate of the branches, root stumps and split wood of the camphor tree, camphor essential oil is processed and passed through a filter to produce four fractions of camphor oil – white, yellow, brown and blue. Of all the fractions, only white camphor oil is used for aromatic purposes. The other fractions contain high levels of a substance called safrole, which is considered carcinogenic and toxic. White camphor also contains safrole, but only in very small amounts.
