Bhimseni Camphor: The Purest Form of Camphor for Daily Rituals
Bhimseni Camphor, known in ancient texts as Pachha Karpooram, is one of the purest and most aromatic forms of natural camphor. Unlike synthetic camphor commonly found in the market, Bhimseni Camphor is derived from the Cinnamomum camphora tree and is naturally crystalline, lightweight and highly fragrant.
Kamdhenu Gauveda brings you premium Bhimseni Camphor that lights up every puja, deepens meditation and refreshes your home with its clean, soothing aroma.
