The Camphor Plant: A Powerful Spiritual Ally

Camphor: A Powerful Spiritual Ally

Cinnamomum camphora, is an oil extracted from the Camphor tree, a close relative of cinnamon. 

The sacred plant has long been treasured for its healing powers, revered in many cultures through India and Asia. As per the ancient Indian scripture and holy text, this plant symbolizes a strong connection with the sacred and celestial. When burnt or diffused, the plant releases fumes that signify becoming pure with the help of the divine.

The scent is delightful, menthol-like, and nose prickling. The aroma awakens subtle peaceful healing agents by manifesting ethereal feelings of tranquility. The Camphor tree must be at least 50 years old to produce the sacred, fragrant oil. 

Camphor is a spiritual "Power House." 

Camphor is classically used for energy cleansing and purification. If intrusive energies or harmful entities are attaching to you, It can eliminate such forces and cleanse your aura. Burning the herb in your morning routine makes it unsuitable for lower vibrational entities to survive and drives them away. 

With all the stress, anxiety, and negativity of our world today, it's easy for negative energies to pervade throughout your body and environment. The aroma generated by the plant significantly releases blocks by banishing timidity, fearfulness, and negative energies, and then enhances the flow of positive peaceful energies.

The essential oil from this plant can also be used during Chakra balancing meditations. Place a small portion of the oil on your ring finger and apply it to your third-eye chakra (between your eye-brows) in a circular motion to experience the deep reflection of mindfulness and a heightened sense of awareness within your mind.

Camphor can be used to purify objects and tools, especially for items and power objects used in ritual magic. A few drops of oil on a power object can imbue protective and purifying capabilities. 

Due to its protective qualities, if you find yourself in a dangerous situation or in the midst of perilous travels, a few drops of oil on your clothes can create a protective shield around you.  

This unique plant can also help purify and cleanse new spaces like homes, apartments, or offices. Burn some oil in an oil burner in your new space to rid it of old, stagnant, or harmful energies that may be lingering from the previous tenant.

Medicinal Benefits

Burn Camphor during your morning rituals and take advantage of the anti-fungal and antibacterial medicinal properties that caste off bacteria in your environment. 

As an alternative medicine, the plant is especially useful for fighting colds and flu. Adding 8-10 drops in a bath can work miracles for the sinuses due to its menthol aroma. A few drops massaged into the chest and upper back helps treat congestion problems. The cool, pungent aroma of this plant can instantly clear the sinuses - It is the main ingredient in Vaporubs for this reason. 

This plant is also useful for treating aches and pains in the muscles and joints. Used topically, Camphor can treat sunburns, insect bites, or itchy skin. And for those having issues sleeping, a few drops of the oil can be rubbed on your pillow to induce sleep.
