Camphor essential oil offered is extracted from Cinnamomum Camphora (also known
as Laurus camphora) of Lauraceae family. Camphor oil is used in treatment of nervous
depression, inflammation, acne, arthritis, muscular aches & pains, rheumatism,
sprains, bronchitis, colds, coughs, fever, flu & infectious diseases. As oil is toxic, it can
be used in vapor therapy to ease respiratory problems. It is often used for Depression,
insomnia, shock, respiratory problems, oily skin and pains. Apply immediately in cold
compress to reduce swelling of bruises and sprains.Camphor has a strong, penetrating,
fragrant odour, and is slightly cold to the touch like menthol leaves; locally it is an
irritant, numbs the peripheral sensory nerves, and is slightly antiseptic; it is not readily
absorbed by the mucous membrane, but is easily absorbed by the subcutaneous tissue.
It combines in the body with glucuronic acid, and in this condition is voided by the
urine. Authorities vary as to its effect on blood pressure; some think it raises it, others
take an opposite view; but it has been proved valuable as an excitant in cases of heart
failure, whether due to diseases or as a result of infectious fevers, such as typhoid and
pneumonia, not only in the latter case as a stimulant to circulation, but as preventing
the growth of pneumococci.
