This succulent, aromatic perennial herb is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae). It features thick, fleshy, and hairy leaves that are packed with aromatic oils.

For generations, its leaves have been a go-to remedy in household medicine.

✨ Why Grow Karpura Valli (Anisochilus Carnosus)? ✨

• 👃 Potent Camphor Aroma: The prime reason to grow it! The strong, cleansing scent of the leaves is used to relieve congestion, clear sinuses, and refresh the air. Simply crushing a leaf and inhaling provides immediate relief.

• 💊 Ayurvedic & Medicinal Powerhouse: Its leaves are used in a multitude of traditional remedies. They are renowned for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and decongestant properties, used for coughs, colds, fevers, and skin conditions.

• 🌿 Easy-Care Herb: A low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant that thrives in pots and gardens with minimal care, ensuring you always have a fresh supply of this powerful herb on hand.

• 🦟 Natural Insect Repellent: The strong camphor scent acts as a natural deterrent for mosquitoes and other insects, making it a great plant for patios and windowsills.

• 📚 Living Tradition: Cultivating Karpura Valli keeps ancient herbal wisdom alive, providing direct access to a natural remedy used for centuries.

Caring for Your Camphor Plant:

• ☀️ Light: Prefers Full Sun to partial shade. More sun encourages more potent aromatic oils in the leaves.

• 💧 Water: Drought-tolerant. Water moderately and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it dislikes soggy roots.

• 🌱 Soil: Requires very well-draining soil. A sandy or gritty mix is perfect to prevent root rot.

⚠️ Important Note: While highly beneficial, the essential oil is potent. It should be used externally or inhaled rather than ingested in large quantities without expert guidance.

Invite the cleansing, healing scent of camphor into your home and garden.
