How to Use Camphor Essential Oil

There are several ways to use Camphor Essential Oil as part of aromatic and practical household routines.

Diffusion

Add a small number of drops to a diffuser to release a clean, fresh aroma. Camphor is often blended with citrus or herbal oils to create sharp, refreshing diffuser blends.

Topical Use

Always dilute Camphor Essential Oil with a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin. A typical dilution rate is 1 to 2%, which is around 1 to 2 drops per 10 ml of carrier oil. Carry out a patch test before use and avoid sensitive areas.

Bathing

Blend thoroughly with a carrier oil or dispersant before adding to bath water to create a cooling, aromatic atmosphere.

Massage

Combine Camphor Essential Oil with a carrier oil at an appropriate dilution to create a brisk, cooling massage blend intended for external aromatic use only.

How to Dilute Camphor Essential Oil

General use usually requires a 1 to 2% dilution. For every 30 ml of carrier oil, add approximately 6 to 12 drops of Camphor Essential Oil and mix well in a dark glass container.
For sensitive skin, a lower dilution of around 0.5 to 1% is recommended. Always carry out a patch test before broader application.
