Product Information
Full details
This White Camphor Essential Oil from KDMD is designed for individuals seeking natural relief for respiratory issues, skin discomfort, and as an insect repellent. Its key benefit is providing immediate respiratory relief and easing pain and inflammation when applied topically. A potential caveat is its strong scent, which may not be suitable for all users or applications. The oil is steam-distilled from the wood and roots of Cinnamomum Camphora, sourced from China, and features a fresh, intense, woody aroma with a hint of eucalyptus due to high cineole content.

Troubleshooting
Skin irritation after topical application
Ensure the oil is properly diluted with a carrier oil. Perform a patch test before larger application. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Diffuser not producing scent
Check if the diffuser is clean and has sufficient water. Ensure the correct number of drops (3-5) are added. Verify the diffuser is functioning correctly.
Strong or unpleasant aroma
Use fewer drops in the diffuser or dilute more heavily when applying topically. Consider blending with other essential oils like lavender or frankincense to mellow the scent.
