Camphor will warm your cockles and give sweet relief to tired, aching muscles. Strong and herbaceous, with menthol-like notes, camphor’s got your back when it comes to fending off sluggishness and feeling your best.&nbsp;

Apply a dab of any popular camphor-based ointment, and you’ll probably notice the area perform a thermal somersault as the skin rapidly cools before a deep warming sensation takes over. This localised temperature shift supports circulation, which helps soothe aches and pains while encouraging a radiant complexion.

Camphor is thought to have analgesic and antispasmodic properties, while stimulating blood flow, offering relief for weary bodies and soothing the itchiness and irritation associated with insect bites. Often found in balms, ointments and bath soaks, camphor is naturally antimicrobial. When inhaled, it can help to clear the mind and ease congestion.&nbsp;

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.&nbsp;

Fragrant camphor has been a favoured 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.
