Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) has a clean, peppery and bright aroma that is popular for chest rubs due to its ability to inspire deep, satisfying breaths and to help relieve congestion. It’s also often added to balms, rubs, and massage oils for joints and muscles because of its ability to produce a relaxing warming or cooling sensation. It may be used to repel flying and storage insects and has a deodorizing effect when added to a homemade deodorizing spritz.
