9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between White, Brown, and Yellow Camphor oil?
A: This is critical. They are distilled from the same tree but have different compositions and safety profiles.
– White Camphor: The safest grade for topical and aromatic use. It is refined and has the characteristic camphor scent.
– Brown/Yellow Camphor: Contains high levels of safrole, which is toxic and carcinogenic. It is not safe for aromatherapy use. Our oil is 100% White Camphor.

Q: Can camphor oil be used for pain relief?
A: Yes, it is well-known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. When highly diluted and applied topically, it creates a cooling sensation that can help soothe muscle aches, joint pain, and arthritis discomfort.

Q: Is it safe to use for respiratory issues?
A: Yes, its potent vapors are excellent for clearing nasal and respiratory congestion when used aromatically in a sauna or diffuser. However, individuals with asthma should use it with extreme caution and consult a doctor, as strong vapors can sometimes be a trigger.

Q: Can I pour it directly on the hot stones in my sauna?
A: Absolutely not. Pouring this potent oil directly onto hot stones is a serious fire hazard, can damage your heater, and will release an overwhelmingly strong, potentially harmful vapor. Always dilute it in a large amount of water (at least 500 ml).

Q: Is this oil safe to diffuse around pets?
A: No. Camphor oil is considered toxic to pets, especially cats. It should not be diffused in areas where pets are present.
