Fresh and earthy, Ravintsara essential oil has potent cleansing and refreshing benefits. It can be diffused to refresh a room or added to your favorite skin cleanser. Similar in chemistry to Eucalyptus, Ravintsara is a milder option.
Description
Ravintsara, not to be confused with Ravensara, is derived from the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora and the uses and benefits of this oil are many. Although Ravintsara and Ravensara are in the Lauraceae family, Ravintsara is milder and more similar to Eucalyptus and Camphor. Ravintsara is an effective air freshener. Combine with essential oils like Roman Chamomile, Copaiba, Eucalyptus, or Rosemary to encourage a refreshed atmosphere. Incorporate into your favorite dōTERRA skin cleanser for added cleansing benefits.

Dilute in a carrier oil as part of a relaxing massage.
