Camphor Powder
Natural
Camphor is said to
have been first used as a drug in the Arabian Peninsula around AD 600, and,
eventually came to be used as a sacred panacea in Greece and Egypt.
In those days, camphor was obtained only from camphor wood (this product is
known as natural camphor). In the 1920's, however, a mass-production
synthesis method was developed in which camphor is obtained from
rosin-derived turpentine oil. Currently, virtually all camphor is produced
by this synthesis process.
Therefore, camphor is
categorized into natural camphor and synthetic camphor.
Natural camphor
Camphor wood is subjected to a steam distillation process to obtain
camphor. |
Synthetic camphor
Turpentine oil originating from rosin is synthesized and
processed into camphor. |
