Profile -
Camphor comes from
a tall, handsome, evergreen tree growing up to 30 meters high, in China,
with many branches bearing clusters of small white flowers followed by
red berries. The crude camphor oil is collected from trees in
crystalline form. The essential oil is produced by steam distillation
from the wood, root stumps, and branches and then rectified under vacuum
and filter pressed to produce three fractions, known as white, brown and
yellow camphor, with white camphor being the one used for aromatherapy.
 Uses -
Camphor essential
oil. is often used for Depression,
insomnia, shock, respiratory problems, oily skin and pains. Apply
immediately in cold compress to reduce swelling of bruises and sprains. Camphor has a strong, penetrating, fragrant
odor, and is
slightly cold to the touch like menthol leaves; locally it is an
irritant, numbs the peripheral sensory nerves, and is slightly
antiseptic; it is not readily absorbed by the mucous membrane, but is
easily absorbed by the subcutaneous tissue. it combines in the body with
glucuronic acid, and in this condition is voided by the urine.
Authorities vary as to its effect on blood pressure; some think it
raises it, others take an opposite view; but it has been proved valuable
as an excitant in cases of heart failure, whether due to diseases or as
a result of infectious fevers, such as typhoid and pneumonia, not only
in the latter case as a stimulant to circulation, but as preventing the
growth of pneumococci.
