Common Usage Respiratory & Immune Defense

  • Viral Protection: Regarded as a premier antiviral oil, it is used extensively to prevent the onset of colds, flu, and other seasonal viruses.
  • Decongesting the Lungs: Helps thin and clear stubborn phlegm and mucus, making it a go-to for bronchitis, sinusitis, and heavy chest congestion.
  • Opening Airways: Its camphoraceous yet gentle aroma helps expand the breath, making it useful for those suffering from asthma-related tightness (under guidance).
  • Airborne Disinfectant: Diffusing it in a workspace or home from clubarome.com helps purify the air and prevent the cross-contamination of germs.

Emotional Rest & Mental Focus

  • Easing Nervous Exhaustion: It is uniquely "dual-action"—it clears the head for focus during the day but promotes deep relaxation and sleep at night.
  • Anxiety Relief: Helps quiet a "spinning" mind and provides a sense of calm during periods of intense emotional stress.
  • Combating Depression: Its bright, clean scent helps lift the "heaviness" of low moods and provides a gentle energetic "boost."
  • Deep Sleep Support: When applied to the soles of the feet before bed, it helps induce a more restful, uninterrupted sleep cycle.

Physical Relief & Skin Care

  • Soothing Viral Skin Issues: Highly effective for cold sores (herpes simplex) and shingles when diluted and applied early.
  • Muscle & Nerve Pain: Its warming effect helps soothe "flu-like" body aches, joint pain, and neuralgia.
  • Lymphatic Support: Stimulates the lymphatic system to help flush out toxins when the body is fighting off an infection.
  • Gentle Antiseptic: Can be used in low dilutions to help clear skin blemishes or minor cuts without the harshness of stronger spice oils.

Blending note High in 1,8-cineole, it works beautifully with oils that share its clean, respiratory-clearing profile or those that can "warm up" its camphoraceous edge.

Do you know?
  • Ravintsara is often confused with Ravensara
  • Remember: Ravintsara (with a 't') is "Trees" (the Camphor tree), while Ravensara is "Rare" (the wild spice-leaf)
  • Ho Leaf is the "Oil of Peace." It is a sustainable alternative to the endangered Rosewood oil
------------ ------------
Contraindication
  • Because of its high cineole content, Ravintsara should be used with caution around young children (keep away from the face/nose) to avoid respiratory distress
  • Very gentle and generally considered safe for all ages when diluted correctly (2% for adults)
