NOW Foods Camphor Oil, 1 ounce by Now Foods

NOW brand oils are the best on the market. We have been ordering from PipingRock for years, but their oils are obviously diluted, and just don't have the strength that NOW brand oils have. I'm switching over to Amazon for my essential oils.

I'm very thankful that I listened to an elderly gentleman from the cruise ship describe his experience with how the Japanese doctors treated the Wuhan Pneumonia with camphor and decided to be prepared and ordered some on the off-chance that one of us would get the virus. As luck wouldn't have it, we did, and I'm very grateful to have had the camphor to breathe in to help combat the shortness of breath. I think it made a huge difference in my ability to combat the virus as I put this in the diffuser and sat and breathed it in for many days and nights. (Camphor & Eucalyptus plus taking zinc supplements.) Best of luck to anyone who catches this!! A very big, heartfelt thank you to the makers!!

by the time I went to use it, I could not return it, but the lid won't come off.

Holy cow this stuff is potent!!! It looks to be in an aqueous solution rather oil. I have not tried to mix it with oil to see it readily mixes with it. I drip this product on old KAZ Mentholatum pads to recharge them, then stuff these pads in front of the KAZ steam humidifiers. The vapors are quite strong in the beginning, but because they are not in a hydrophobic solution (I'm guessing) they dissipate quickly. I am going to do some experiments with oil to see if I can get a steady slower release of the product. I would recommend this as a substitute for the steam humidifier menthol stuff (more concentrated, better bang for your buck). But if you are lazy and don't like saving money and just want to buy something that utilizes the pathway of least resistance (work), go on and buy the prepackage KAZ menthol pads that will only last one night. Hey.... different strokes for different folks.

I diffuse this in our house. It's earthy and clean and comforting. At my local health food store I get one bottle for almost $12. so glad i found it hear because I like to diffuse it often! It mixes well with mint if you house smells like the dinner the you just cooked, or at night it mixes well with lavender after a long day and you want to relax.
