Camphor oil, the oil from the wood of this tree is a stark antiseptic and is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing. It promotes blood circulation and works especially well for treating acne, and also prevents muscle pain.
In aromatherapy, this oil is anticonvulsant, tonic and mood enhancing. It stabilizes the emotions and helps overcome inner weakness. Camphor should be avoided by pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, children and epileptics!
