camphor

Camphor is a white, crystalline substance with a strong, aromatic fragrance, derived from the wood of the camphor laurel tree or synthesized from turpentine oil. Widely used in spiritual rituals, it is known for its purifying and healing properties. When burned, camphor produces a clean, fragrant flame, symbolizing the dissipation of negativity and the presence of divinity. In Ayurveda, camphor is valued for its cooling effect, aiding in respiratory relief and pain alleviation. It is also a common ingredient in balms, ointments, and diffusers. Natural camphor is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it a sustainable and beneficial addition to any home.
