Edible Camphor – Kafoor Powder (کافور) – 100g

Edible Camphor — Kafoor Powder (کافور)

Genuine edible camphor (کافور), known in Urdu as kafoor and in Ayurvedic tradition as bhimseni or pacha karpooram. This is the food-grade, natural variety — distinct from the synthetic camphor tablets sold for burning, which must never be eaten.

Edible Camphor vs Ordinary Camphor

This distinction matters and is worth being clear about:

• Edible camphor (kafoor) — natural, derived from the camphor laurel tree, food grade, used in tiny quantities in traditional preparations and prasad
• Synthetic camphor tablets — petroleum-derived, sold for burning and pest control, toxic if swallowed

What we supply is the edible grade. Even so, camphor is potent and is used in very small amounts only.

Traditional Uses of Kafoor

• A pinch used in traditional Unani and Ayurvedic formulations
• Added to oils and balms for a cooling massage rub
• Used in traditional skincare preparations for its cooling effect
• Burned as an aromatic during religious ceremonies

Camphor Price in Pakistan

Genuine edible camphor price in Pakistan reflects the natural grade — synthetic tablets are far cheaper but are not the same product and are not edible. Sealed packaging, cash on delivery nationwide.

Safety

Use only in very small quantities as directed by a qualified hakeem or practitioner. Keep well away from children. Not suitable during pregnancy. Camphor is harmful in larger doses — if in doubt, consult a doctor before internal use.
