Ngai Camphor Leaf Whole (Blumea balsamifera) is a highly aromatic, warming herb traditionally used in Southeast Asian and Chinese medicine for its ability to dispel wind-dampness, relieve pain, and promote circulation. These whole, slightly fuzzy leaves are rich in volatile oils and camphor-like compounds that give them a strong, resinous scent and warming nature.
Often used in external applications, Ngai camphor leaf is commonly prepared in baths, compresses, or poultices to soothe aching joints, muscle stiffness, and swelling caused by cold or damp exposure. It is also used internally in some traditions, typically in carefully measured decoctions, to support respiratory health, encourage sweating, and relieve abdominal bloating or cramping due to cold accumulation.
In folk medicine, it is also known for its use in postpartum recovery practices, where warm baths infused with the leaves are believed to help expel cold from the body, reduce pain, and stimulate healing. When brewed, the infusion has a sharp, cooling-minty aroma with underlying woody notes.
Each batch of Ngai Camphor Leaf Whole (Blumea balsamifera) is carefully dried and preserved to maintain its essential oil content, aroma, and therapeutic value. Whether used in herbal baths, massage oils, or warming teas, this versatile leaf offers a time-tested remedy for wind-damp discomfort and circulation support.
