DESCRIPTION
The natural remedy: Native to Madagascar, Ravintsara Essential Oil is widely recognized for its unique aroma and immune-boosting capabilities. Its invigorating scent boasts a calming sensory experience that elevates almost any living space. It's renowned for natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, which may help alleviate cold and flu symptoms.
Ravintsara Essential Oil comes from the leaves of the Camphor tree, which is a broad-leaved evergreen native to Asia. Camphor trees can reach a height of 15-30 meters (approximately 50-100 feet) and display small white to cream colored flowers in spring that give way to small, black, berry-like fruits. They are known for their shiny dark and light green leaves, which release a distinctive camphoraceous odor when crushed.
Not to be confused with Ravensara Essential Oil (Ravensara aromatic), Ravintsara oil has a high concentration of 1,8-Cineole, which endows it with a distinctive aroma.
