Camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora): Natural camphor is extracted by distilling the leaves and bark of Cinnamomum camphora, a native to China, Taiwan, southern parts of Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, it is also synthetically produced. Camphor oil is extracted by steam from the chipped wood, root stumps and branches of the camphor tree. It is then rectified under vacuum and filter pressed.Dear gentlemen,
Anybody having any Idea about Natural Camphor manufacture / Camphor tree cultivation? what is the status in India?
Cinnamomum camphora would grow in Indian climatic conditions, it need not yield camphor at commercially viable levels.
A new tree species, named as Cinnamomum agasthyamalayanum, which is endemic to the Ghats region of Kerala, was named as after the type locality, Agasthyamala hills, was reported in 2015 by scientists of Kerala Forest Research Institute. Its leaf and bark lets out strong camphor smell when crushed. Whether camphor can be viably extracted/distilled from this plant's leaf and bark is yet to be established.

Apart from the above benefits, Camphor has a lot of other benefits. Scientifically known as Cinnamomum Camphora, Camphor is harvested from camphor trees and later processed through steam distillation. Camphor belongs to the Laurel family, which is scientifically known as Ocotea Usambarensis. The chemical formula of this naturally occurring organic substance is C₁₀H₁₆O. It is used as an effective remedy for joint pain as it stimulates the circulatory system. This helps tackle rheumatic diseases, gout, and osteoarthritis. Muscle stiffness, cramps, spasms, and joint and shoulder pain can also relieve in less than 2 weeks with the use of camphor. This antispasmodic can also help promote a sense of calm during pregnancies. Moreover, ingesting camphor in limited and moderated quantities can help reduce the formation of gas as it improves digestion and helps increase metabolism.
Camphor can also act as a remedy for those with stubborn nail fungus that has a tendency to recur. Regular use of this antifungal ingredient can help treat similar infections in a period of 3 weeks.
