A Historic Aromatic

Camphor is a white crystalline substance obtained from Cinnamomum camphora, used for centuries as a culinary spice, a component of incense, a traditional medicine, and an insect and flea repellent.

The tree is native to Taiwan, southern Japan, southeast China and Indochina; camphor production was a major historic industry in the region.

Harvesting & Extraction

Camphor essential oil is steam distilled from the wood and bark and then fractionated. Only the white fraction — low in safrole — is used aromatically; the brown and yellow fractions are hazardous. Learn more about how we work on our distillation of essential oil page.

Common Uses

Across perfumery, wellness and traditional practice, this oil is valued for:

  • Aromatherapy — a clearing, penetrating note used, well diluted, in respiratory blends.
  • Muscle & joint rubs — traditionally used, diluted, for warming relief.
  • Household & insect repellent — a classic natural deterrent note.
  • Perfumery — a sharp, fresh top note used sparingly.
Caution: Use only the white camphor fraction; brown and yellow fractions contain safrole and are hazardous. Camphor is potent and neurotoxic in excess — use well diluted and sparingly. For external use only, never internal. Avoid entirely in pregnancy and with infants and children; keep well out of reach. Consult a professional if under medical care.
