Description
White Camphor oil has a somewhat medicinal, fresh, nose-opening, clean aroma. It blends well with Rosemary and Eucalyptus. The penetrating aroma of Camphor is often associated with chest rubs and balms for muscles and joints. Camphor oil may also be used to repel flying insects or to refresh a musty linen closet. Highly recommended by our aromatherapists, White Camphor oil is rectified for safety. Brown and yellow Camphor oil are crude and can be more toxic, even externally.
