DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CAMPHOR COME FROM?
Many people use it. A lot of people don’t like it. Is it a herb? Or is it something that was designed in a laboratory? Too many questions dealing with a waxy, flammable element with a super-strong aroma which is found in innumerable cosmetic products.
Cinnamomum camphora is where it all starts. This evergreen tree native to China, also to southern Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and many other countries where it has been introduced, is the source of this world-famous natural cosmetic component.
Camphor has been for long centuries produced as a product of relevant forest trees. By condensation of vapor of the roasted wood scratch. Later, by the technique of passing steam via the shattered wood chips and then the vapors were condensed. All accompanied by heavy scent. Note that even by picking and crushing a tree leave the smell is very intense. But do not get confused! Camphor can also be synthetically produced from the oil of turpentine. Turpentine is fluid gained by distillation from living trees. Nowadays, it is the most common camphor production.
The use of camphor is extremely wide. The sublimating capacity gives endless possibilities. People have been using camphor in plastic production, for medicinal use, as a perfume ingredient, for a culinary purpose, or even in traditional medicine and Hindu ceremonies.
