HCamphor is a white waxy solid with a strong aroma. Indians use it in rituals to purify other items. The camphor tree is where camphor is found and it has spiritual and medicinal values.
When burnt, camphor’s aroma calms the mind, reduces stress and clears the mind. People often use this for meditation and prayer to stay focused and calm.
When you burn camphor, it cleanses the space, and generates positive energy. Its smoke cleanses the environment and is an important aspect of daily rituals in many homes.
Always use a heat-safe holder or diya to burn camphor. Avoid ignition source, don’t leave unattended after lighting and keep away from flames.
Camphor is more than a flavour. It is purity, devotion and healing. It is passed down from generations that keeps us connected to tradition and healing.
