The powerful, penetrating, camphorous scent of Ravensara has made it a longtime favorite for use in vapor rubs to clear the sinuses and respiratory tract. Its unique dual-action cooling and heating properties have made it popular among athletes as an additive to massage oils for soothing muscles and joints after competition or strenuous training regimens. Ravensara Essential Oil from Swanson Aromatherapy is steam-distilled from the leaves of certified organically grown Ravensara aromatica trees from Madagascar. It’s remarkably potent and aromatic when used for aromatherapy, and should be diluted with a carrier oil such as olive, jojoba or almond oil for use in massage.
