Camphor is a naturally occurring compound found mainly in the evergreen laurel tree Cinnamomum camphora. From its bark and leaves to its flowers and berries, camphor can be found throughout these ancient trees, which can live for up to a thousand years.
Fragrant camphor has been a favored folk medicine throughout history: in 13th-century Europe, people used it for fumigation to ward off the Black Death, and the Ancient Egyptians used it as an embalming fluid during mummification. To this day, camphor retains religious significance for its reputed spiritual and protective properties.
