Camphor Essential Oil, steam-distilled from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree, is a powerful and stimulating oil known for its sharp, penetrating aroma and a wide range of traditional therapeutic uses. Sourced from trees grown in India, this oil has long been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its cooling, cleansing, and invigorating effects.

With its distinct, menthol-like scent, Camphor oil is highly valued for promoting respiratory comfort, easing muscular discomfort, and supporting circulation. When diluted and applied topically, it delivers a soothing cooling sensation that helps relieve aches, stiffness, and minor skin irritations. It’s also frequently used in chest rubs, balms, and massage blends targeting tired or overworked muscles.

In addition to its physical benefits, Camphor is often used to refresh the mind, increase focus, and repel insects naturally. It also has purifying qualities that make it ideal for diffusing in living spaces or adding to natural cleaning products. Lyfe Herb’s Camphor Essential Oil is 100% pure, undiluted, and free from synthetic additives—offering a versatile solution for wellness, skincare, and home care routines.
