Camphor Essential Oil 

 Cinnamomum camphora

 

 

The Cinnamomum  Camphora  tree a.k.a. Camphor Tree is a chief contributor to Aromatherapy purely because of the camphor oil derived from its woods.  

The tree is largely found in China and can reach a height of up to 30 meters.  Camphor oil has immense therapeutic value. Traditionally, the usage of this essential oil was largely restricted to a role as an effective soothing agent e.g. as a skin conditioner or a muscle relaxant. However, with the advent of time more and more benefits have emerged out of the usage of Camphor oil.
