Bhimseni Kapoor by Riddhish Herbals is pure natural crystalline camphor obtained from Cinnamomum camphora — the genuine, sublimed camphor used for puja, aarti and aromatherapy, distinct from synthetic camphor tablets. It is for external, ritual and aromatic use only and is not for internal consumption.
About Bhimseni Kapoor
Bhimseni Kapoor is the real thing — natural crystalline camphor sublimed from the wood of Cinnamomum camphora, not a synthetic tablet pressed from petrochemical camphor. Its aroma is cleaner and stronger, which is exactly why traditional homes keep it for the daily lamp and aarti.
Riddhish Herbals offers it in a 100g pack of loose crystals. It is meant for ritual, aromatic and external use — a pinch on the aarti flame, a few crystals in a wardrobe, or a classical external preparation made on a Vaidya’s advice.
Traditional & Everyday Uses
- Puja & aarti: the classical camphor flame for daily worship, havan and ceremonies.
- Aromatherapy: its natural vapour is used to freshen and purify a room.
- External Ayurvedic use: a component of classical external (bahya) preparations, used under physician guidance.
- Natural deterrent: a traditional wardrobe and storage insect-deterrent.
How to Tell Genuine Bhimseni Camphor
The classical test is simple: genuine natural (Bhimseni) camphor dissolves completely in sesame or coconut oil, leaving no residue, while synthetic camphor tablets usually leave a white sediment. This oil-dissolution check has been the trade test in puja and Ayurvedic practice for generations.
