Camphor Flakes

Camphor Flakes - Overview

Camphor Flakes are crystalline material that has a wonderful history in the traditional medicine, spiritualism and contemporary industry. Camphor is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone that is known to be renowned in its sharp cooling aroma. It is valued because it is a local anesthetic, antimicrobial agent, and fragrance enhancer. Camphor is also very critical in manufacturing of celluloid, smokeless powder, and other aroma chemicals in the industrial sector. It is allowed to be used in topical over-the-counter drugs by regulatory bodies like the FDA in definite concentration limits.

Botany:-

The Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a large evergreen tree native to East Asia but commonly grown in India and other tropical areas is the main source of natural camphor. It is only after 50 years that the tree will yield high contents of the essential oil in its wood. Its extraction is done by the steam distillation of chipped wood, stumps of roots, and trees into camphor oil. This oil is thereafter cooled to enable crystallization of the crude camphor. The crude crystals are purified in a process of sublimation to give the bright white, translucent flakes that are traded commercially. This makes it very pure and eliminates heavy volatile oils.

Camphor Flakes Benefits:-
