Essential Oil Guide

Camphor White

Throat · Vishuddha · 741 Hz

Clear the channel. Cool the breath.

The clearing oil in our range — Cinnamomum camphora, but the White fraction only, the safe and cooling face of a tree whose other fractions carry toxic safrole. Steam-distilled in the camphor-belt forests of Taiwan and southern China. Throat chakra at 741 Hz — the centre of clear expression and clean breath. Cool the room, settle the heat in the chest, let the words come through unblocked.
