well, yes, that sounds like pretty good arguments against distillation from mace... i guess SWIM should give oil of "Cinnamomum camphora" a try,
in another post somewhere around here i read it might contain up to 80% Safrole. Or, bye the way: anyone ever heard of C.champhora linalooliferum?
Another chinese camphor species, i wonder about a possible safrole content in an oil from that ...
thanks a lot!
