100% natural camphor powder comes from camphor trees (Cinnamomum camphora), processed via steam distillation into crystals or granuales, used for aromatherapy, religious rituals (pooja/hawan), and as an air freshener due to its strong, pleasant scent and purifying properties, with pure forms offering a clean, bright orange flame when burned, unlike synthetic versions. Natural camphor powder has a wide array of uses, primarily in topical medication, aromatherapy, as a natural insect repellent, and in spiritual practices. It's used topically or as directed, as ingestion is unsafe. Natural camphor is traditionally used externally and aromatically. It is not meant to be eaten, especially for children or teens.
Common safe uses

4. Cold & chest comfort
