Description

Ravensara

Origin and background

Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica) belongs to a family of laurels Lauraceae and originates in Madagascar

The essential oil made from this plant is used in the perfume industry, but it is also very common in natural and folk medicine because of its antiseptic and antibacterial, antiviral, and expectorant properties.

References to the healing properties of ravensara can be found in ancient Greek, ancient Roman, and medieval texts.

Properties

Aromatic properties

Ravensara essential oil contains estragole (about 80%), methylleugenol (8.5%), and limonene (3%) as the main chemical compounds.

Estragol is known for reducing fatigue, relieving stress, improving sleep quality, relieving headaches, improving cognitive function and mood.

Methylleugenol is used as a perfume in various fragrances and essential oils that contain it act as a good insect repellent (in addition to e.g. citronella) and as a home cleaner (in addition to e.g. citronella, tea tree, laurel, basil).

However, limonene is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, providing relief for many health problems and improving overall well-being.

Due to its eucalyptus-like aroma, it is perfect for use during allergy attacks, as it can facilitate breathing.

When mixed with bergamot and other citrus oils, it also helps lift the mood and boost energy. As the aroma of ravensara is relatively intense, there's a thumb rule that less is more.

Healing properties

Due to its antiseptic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, ravensara essential oil is excellent for the treatment of skin diseases and the fight against colds. It is used to fluidify excess mucus and sputum from the respiratory system to make them easier to expel. If you feel that you have a cold (and your immune system is therefore weakened), try to prevent getting ill with taking a nice relaxing bath with a few drops of ravensara essential oil.

Ravensara essential oil is a natural and powerful remedy for colds and flu. It also supports the digestive and immune systems by preventing seasonal diseases.

Recommended uses

Topical

  • It is recommended to use essential oils and their blend in a diluted form. Especially for sensitive and gentle skin. This means adding a small amount of water or carrier oil before applying it to the skin. The blend can be placed, for example, in a roll-on bottle that is convenient to carry along and can be used at any convenient time.
  • Can also be added to a neutral unscented cream, lotion, or liquid soap to achieve radiant and healthy skin.
Aromatic
  • Can be used in an aroma diffuser both at home or in the office to create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere that relaxes the senses and creates a pleasant aroma around you.
  • It can also be added to an oil burner. Don't forget to add water to the oil burner and then drip in the essential oil! Pure essential oil is too strong and has a faint odor.
  • Can be added to hot bath water and enjoy an aromatic mini-vacation in the middle of everyday life or at the end of a busy week.
  • Combine it with other compatible oils (see recommendations below) in a diffuser or bath water.
  • Can be diluted in the spray bottle with water and spray it at home, in the office, or just to refresh your bed linen.
