The Profile

Ravensara is a tall rainforest tree native to the island of Madagascar. Its name means "good leaf" in Malagasy, reflecting its deep history in traditional local medicine. The aroma is complex—initially reminiscent of Eucalyptus with its camphorous "zing," but it quickly reveals a spicy, peppery, and slightly sweet woody undertone. It is often referred to as the "Oil that Heals" because of its remarkably broad spectrum of antiviral and antibacterial properties. It is often confused with Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora), but Ravensara aromatica is generally considered to have a more delicate and spicy scent profile.

Therapeutic Actions

Analgesic, Anti-infectious, Antimicrobial, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Antiviral, Aphrodisiac, Carminative, Cicatrizant, Expectorant, Immune Stimulant, Nervine, Tonic.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Highly effective for viral skin conditions such as cold sores (herpes simplex), shingles (herpes zoster), and chickenpox. It helps dry up lesions and ease the associated nerve pain.

·         Respiratory: Excellent for bronchitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, and deep-seated chest colds. It acts as a powerful expectorant while simultaneously fighting the viral cause of the congestion.

·         Immune System: One of the most powerful immuno-stimulants in the world. It is a "heavy hitter" for influenza and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), where the immune system has become depleted.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: Helps ease muscular aches and pains associated with viral infections or "the chills."

·         Nervous System: Used for nervous debility and anxiety. It is remarkably "clearing" for the mind during times of high stress.

Emotional Benefit

Ravensara is the "Oil of Reinforcement." It is the perfect oil for those who feel physically and emotionally "broken down." When you feel like your boundaries have been crossed and your "armor" is thin, Ravensara provides a protective shield. It helps the spirit gather its strength, encouraging resilience and the courage to start again after a period of hardship.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       Cold Sore Spot Treatment: Mix 1 drop of Ravensara with 1 drop of Tea Tree in a teaspoon of carrier oil. Use a cotton bud to dab onto the affected area at the very first sign of a "tingle."

2.      The "Flu Fighter" Bath: Mix 3 drops of Ravensara and 3 drops of Lemon with a tablespoon of carrier oil. Add to a warm bath at the first sign of a fever or body aches to support the immune response.

3.       Energy Recovery Diffuser: If you are recovering from a long illness and feel "flat," diffuse 3 drops of Ravensara and 3 drops of Grapefruit to clear the air and gently stimulate your energy levels.
