Camphor oil white 100% essential Nanga (Cinnamomum camphora)

White camphor oil is produced by fractional distillation from the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), which occurs naturally in India, China, and South Korea. The camphor tree is an important medicinal plant there; it is also valued for its wood, which is used to make furniture. In addition, the species Cinnamomum camphora has been an integral part of the local culture and religion for thousands of years. It occurs in five chemotypes – borneol, nerolidol, camphor, 1,8-cineole, and linalool; essential oils from the last three are commercially available.

In traditional medicine, various parts of the plant (leaves, stems and fruits) were used to prepare preparations such as oils, ointments and extracts with antifungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

The process of creating camphor oil is different from other oils. Camphor oil is separated into four different “essential oils” by fractional distillation, after the crude camphor crystals have been removed by filtration. The fractions are known as white camphor oil (light fraction), brown (medium fraction), yellow (also medium fraction), and blue (heavy fraction).

Only white camphor oil should be used in aromatherapy! It should not be confused with the popular “camphor oil” in pharmacies, which is actually pure camphor dissolved in oil (e.g. rapeseed). There is not much of this camphor in white camphor oil, usually about 2%.

Our offer also includes natural camphor (a crystalline substance isolated from the camphor tree) and essential oil from the camphor tree of the linalool chemotype, or otherwise known as essential oil from the Ho tree.
