Essential Oil of the Month: Camphor
Posted by TriLight Health on Feb 7th 2023
Literature fans will recognize camphor from Little Women. Today we hope to introduce you to this essential oil. The name camphor may stir up thoughts of moth balls and Grandma's medicine chest. However it's not something of antiquity- herbalists and aromatherapists still use this oil today. The substance itself is waxy before being turned into an essential oil. This oil is mostly used topically or inhaled.
