Camphor oil is a powerful essential oil. It’s derived from the camphor tree. This oil is known for its strong aroma. It offers various traditional and modern uses.
Camphor essential oil is extracted from Cinnamomum Camphora. This tree is also known as Laurus camphora. It belongs to the Lauraceae family. Other names for it include true camphor, hon-sho, and gum camphor. It’s also recognized as Japanese camphor or Formosa camphor. This oil is highly concentrated. It requires careful handling due to its potency.
The camphor tree is quite large. It can grow up to 35 meters (100 feet) tall. Its active components are found throughout the tree. This includes every part of the plant. The tree is native to Formosa (Taiwan), China, and Japan. Camphor trees can often live for many years. It must be at least 50 years old to produce oil.
Historically, camphor was significant. It was a well-known remedy against the plague in Persia (now Iran). It was also used in embalming practices. The Chinese used its durable wood for building. They constructed ships and temples with it. This was due to the wood’s strength and aromatic qualities.
Camphor oil is extracted using steam distillation. This process uses chipped wood. Root stumps and branches are also utilized. The raw extract is then rectified. This happens under vacuum. Finally, it undergoes filter pressing. This yields the pure camphor oil.
Camphor oil possesses distinct physical and chemical characteristics. These define its unique nature and applications.

The primary chemical components give camphor oil its effects. Camphor itself is the most abundant. It makes up 40-60% of the oil. Eucalyptol is another significant component. It accounts for 10-20%. These compounds are responsible for its strong aroma. They also contribute to its therapeutic properties. The synergistic effect of these components makes the oil powerful.
