The Essence of Camphor and Menthol:
-
Camphor: Renowned for its ability to provide a warming sensation that soothes and relaxes, camphor envelops you with its distinctive aroma, promoting a sense of well-being and comfort. This is an ancient ingredient of various cosmetic, religious and medicinal preparations, which has been used for millennia in many traditions for massage in various ointments and burnt for the properties it possesses when inhaled. Camphor was used for religious rituals in ancient Egypt, and in Hinduism and Buddhism it is used to this day during religious ceremonies as it is believed that its fragrant smoke purifies the environment and creates a spiritual connection. In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine camphor is commonly used and is considered to have cooling properties which balances excess heat in the body.
-
Menthol: Derived from mint, menthol delivers a cooling and refreshing effect that invigorates the senses and revitalizes the skin, creating a balanced harmony with camphor's warmth. Menthol, derived from mint plants, was used in ancient cultures much like camphor. People would inhale vapors from mint leaves or rub it on the skin. In ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, mint (which contains menthol) was used for it's soothing properties. It was often consumed as a tea or added to foods. Menthol was applied topically as well. The cooling sensation was thought to numb the area and reduce discomfort. In Ayurveda, menthol-rich plants like peppermint were used to balance body heat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, mint was believed to have cooling properties, which could treat excessive heat or "fire" in the body.
