Description

Camphor is said to have been first used as a drug in the Arabian Peninsula around AD **0, 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 ***0&#**9;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.
