Ravintsara EO
Good for clearing sinuses.
Ravintsara can support the circulatory system and enhance the immune system. Ravintsara is very distinct from Ravensara essential oil. The two have unique aromas and work differently in most uses.
Ravintsara is a bit milder than Ravensara and is more similar to Eucalyptus and Camphor. Eucalyptol, the primary chemical constituent of Ravintsara, makes its aroma uniquely invigorating and ideal for use in a soothing massage. Perfect for personal and home use, this enlivening aroma helps create a relaxing, open environment in even the stuffiest rooms. In addition to aromatic benefits, Ravintsara also contains surface cleansing properties when applied topically to the skin and general home surfaces.
