Kapooradi Oil, also known as Camphor oil or Kapoor oil, is an essential oil extracted from the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). It is primarily used for its medicinal properties and has been a part of traditional medicine practices for centuries.
The oil is derived from the wood and bark of the camphor tree through a steam distillation process. It has a strong, pleasant aroma with a refreshing and cooling effect.
Kapooradi Oil is widely known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used as a topical treatment for skin conditions such as itching, rashes, and fungal infections. Due to its soothing nature, it is often added to creams, lotions, and ointments for healing wounds, burns, and bug bites.
In addition to its skincare benefits, Kapooradi Oil is also used in aromatherapy for its calming effects. Its aroma is believed to alleviate stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue, promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality.
