Leleshwa Essential Oil, Camphor Bush, Kenya

Leleshwa Essential Oil, Camphor Bush, Kenya, (Tarchonanthus camphora), steam distilled from leaves of the sub-tropical native West African shrub.  Native Africans refer to it by many names including "Gray Bush."  Distillations began as early as the 1920's although little was known about the profile.  In 1957 Rovesti offered the first good analytical data.
