any one know where i can buy camphor crystals from please ,ihave found the oil but not the crystals ,i read that if you mix them with coconut oil it helps with hair loss and itchy scalp
I've never seen camphor crystals but know of them in a small block ie as mothballs (which your gran or even your mum probably kept in the wardrobe to defend her clothes from moths.) You can also buy small camphor tablets from shops in an area which has a Hindu population as they are used in worship. (You place them on a small metal holder and set fire to them before waving them in front of a deity.) If you got hold of either of these you could pound them up to make crystals, I would think. HTH
thx
Hi LG
Camphor essential oil is available from aromatherapy suppliers. Crystals not so easy to find. I do know of a herbalist has supplied them to me (I use it in homemade Thai herbal compresses).
I'm just going to check out his website. Back in a mo.
Hi leogirl
Go to and they may be able to help.

I dont where you live but if you will be able to get them from any good Indian or Pakistani grocers as they are widely used for funeral rites.
Good luck.
