Ravensara Essential Oils

The island of Madagascar, with all its mysteries, is known for being the origin of these essential oils. The ravensara trees, from which the oils are derived through steam distillation of the leaves, are native to the Madagascar rain forest. Though originally used for centuries as a tonic in the system of traditional medicine, these oils have shown a wide array of medicinal benefits. For those wishing to blend these essential oils with others, suggested combinations could include wintergreen, tea tree, rosemary, lavender, juniper, ginger, fir needle, eucalyptus, clove bud, roman, chamomile, cypress, citronella, and more. Ravensara essential oils have a thin consistency and an aroma that is slightly sweet with eucalyptus-like characteristics. The aroma also contains woody notes with a camphorous tone and offers a slightly medicinal scent.
