White Camphor 

Cinnamonium camphora.

Hon-sho (true camphor). Organically grown and distilled in Madagascar.

"A tall ever green tree with large glossy green leaves. It is native to China, Japan & Taiwan, but has now been introduced to many other countries... Without a doubt, oils from C. amphora have caused much confusion, & the nomenclature remains in dispute. Depending on its origin, oil from C. amphora has been referred to as:

Hon-sho (true camphor) - this is the camphor chemotype from the wood.

Ravintsara - this is the 1,8-cineole chemotype, from the leaf from Madagascar.

Ho leaf oil (ho-sho) - this is the linalool chemotype from the leaf.

White Camphor EO is a clear mobile fluid with a fresh, sharp camphoraceous odor.

Actions supported by clinical studies: antibacterial, antifungal, antinociceptive, antitussive, expectorant.

Musculoskeletal system - White camphor oil is recommended for arthritis, aches & pains, rheumatism & sprains.
