Use | camphor oil can dispelling wind and dampness, activating meridians, relieving pain and dispelling food. It can be used for rheumatism pain, cold heart pain, cholera, abdominal distension, diet does not go away, traumatic injury. It also has clearance orifices; Qi stagnation; Tourette's turbidity; Insecticidal antipruritic; The role of swelling and pain. used in medicine and preparation of soap flavor, can also be used to make varnish and shoe polish |
Application | camphor oil is mainly used in fever and dizziness; Catathemia, diarrhea and vomiting Abdominal Pain; Cold wet beriberi; scabies and psoriasis; Alopecia; Chilblain; Acne; Fire and water burns; Traumatic pain; Toothache; Red eyes and so on. |
ingredients | In addition to camphor, camphor oil also contains safrole, cineole, camphorene, eugenol, etc. After extraction of camphor, the remaining aromatic oil commonly known as camphor oil. White camphor oil, red camphor oil, blue camphor oil and other products for different purposes can be obtained by fractionation processing. |
camphor oil extract | White camphor oil, it is a kind of volatile oil obtained by distillation and fractionation from camphor tree or other plants belonging to the same genus, which is the first fraction of essential oil obtained by vacuum distillation of camphor oil. The boiling range under normal pressure is 160~185, and the temperature is 115~125 at 19995Pa. This product has camphor special odor, flavor, cool, colorless or yellowish clear oily liquid, density (25 ℃)0.870~0.880, refractive index (25 ℃)1.4663, optical rotation (25 ° C) 16 ° ~ 19 °. |
camphor oil | camphor oil is essential oil contained in the roots, stems, branches and leaves of Cinnamomum camphora, whose contents are 5-6% respectively, wood 3.526%, branches and leaves 3.70%; Middle trunk 4.23%, the lower most, young branches and leaves about 1%. camphor oil can be processed to extract camphor, White camphor oil, red camphor oil and blue camphor oil through fractionation process. Camphor oil occupies an important position in the perfume industry, the main product of its fractionation-White camphor oil is the raw material for the extraction of eucalyptol, and is an important organic solvent, safrole contained in red camphor oil is the synthesis of ocean, ethyl vanillin and other important raw materials, blue camphor oil can be used as low-grade soap flavor, disinfectant, deodorant. Camphor oil and its products can also be used in medicine, pesticide, mining and other sectors, is an important raw material for chemical, pharmaceutical, national defense and other aspects. |
camphor tree | camphor tree is an evergreen tree of cinnamomaceae, up to 50m. Bark Green, smooth when young, yellow-brown when old, split longitudinally. Majority of bud scales. Dry, branches and leaves have camphor odor. Leaves alternate, leathery, glossy, oval-oval or ovoid, 3-7.5 in length and 1.5-in width, Apex acute or short acuminate, two-sided protuberance, 2-4 pairs of two-sided protuberant lateral veins in the upper part of the middle vein, usually racemally protuberance in the axillae of the veins, dark green in the ventral surface of the leaves, gray-green in the back, hairless on both sides. Panicles axillary, flowers yellowish-green, perianth 6, inside densely pilose. There were 6-9 fertile stamens and 3 degenerated ones. The anthers were 4-G. Ovary subspherical, hairless. Inoculum globose, 6-8mm in diameter, fruit tray-shaped. Flowering 4~6 months, fruit 9~10 months. Place of origin and cultivation area: Cinnamomum camphora originated in Southeast and Southwest China. Mainly distributed in China's Taiwan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the low mountain plain area, but in the wild distribution area of Taiwan up to about 1800m above sea level. Growth habit: camphor trees like sunlight. But young trees need proper shading for good growth. Young trees grow to 2~3m when the beginning of the light, to the adult more light. Suitable for growth in the annual average temperature of 16~23 degrees Celsius area, the absolute maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, the absolute minimum temperature of -7 degrees Celsius, 1 month average temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, annual precipitation in 800~1300 above can grow, but the warm and humid climate is the most suitable for growth. Seedling cold tolerance is poor, vulnerable to freezing injury. The cold resistance of adult plants became stronger. Cinnamomum camphora can be grown in acidic to neutral soil, deep soil layer, fertile sandy loam, light sandy loam yellow soil, red-yellow soil, red soil and erosive soil. Not resistant to drought thin, but can withstand short-term flooding, can grow in the high water level of the groundwater in the wet area. The Crown of Cinnamomum camphora was developed, with low branch and short trunk. Under the conditions of mixed growth with other trees, the lateral branches were few, and the trunk was obvious and straight. Deep-rooted, with well-developed main root, wind-resistant. Seedling lateral fibrous root is less, the root regeneration is strong. After colonization the root system is restored very quickly and develops into strong horizontal and vertical roots. Cinnamomum camphora growth rate is medium, the young period is fast, the life span is long, up to thousands of years. FIG. 1 is a diagram of Cinnamomum camphora plants. |
