Camphor is a waxy, white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. It’s derived from the wood of camphor trees or synthesized from turpentine oil. MEDICINAL USAGE: It’s often used in traditional medicine and aromatherapy. Some of its benefits include relieving coughs, easing congestion, alleviating pain, repelling insects, and promoting relaxation when used in aromatherapy. RITUALISTIC USAGE: Camphor is also commonly used in puja ceremonies for its aromatic properties and symbolic significance. It’s believed to purify the air and create a sacred ambiance. When lit, it represents the burning away of ego and impurities, offering a symbolic gesture of devotion to the deity being worshipped.

Additionally, camphor oil can be mixed with other carrier oils and applied to the skin as a natural repellent. CAUTION: *Ingesting camphor can be toxic, especially to children.
