Product Description:
Absolute Aromas Camphor essential oil 10ml, is a white almost colourless, pale yellow oil with a sharp, and pungent aroma.
Absolute Aroma's Camphor essential oil is steam distilled from the wood, root stumps and branches.
Camphor is the traditional ingredient in mothballs and these can be made at home by adding 10 drops of White Camphor to a cotton wool ball and placing these in cupboards and drawers, etc. But they should be kept well out of the reach of children and pets.
To keep other airborne pests at bay, try adding 5 drops of Camphor to a burner or diffuser.
Extracted by distillation from the wood of this evergreen tree, there are then three extractions made from Camphor – only White Camphor is safe for aromatherapy use as it contains no Safrol (unlike Yellow and Brown Camphor). White Camphor should still, however, be treated with caution and used in moderation.

In folk tradition a lump of the camphor wood, would be worn around the neck as a protection for infectious diseases.
