Camphor Essential 

Botanical Name: Cinnamomum camphora

The tree can grow up to 35 meters (100 feet) and the camphor is found in every part of it.

In China and Japan, Cinnamomum camphora must be at least 50 years old to produce oil, and can often grow as old as a thousand years. Wood has been used in the construction of temples and in ship-building because of its durability and aromatic properties.
