About this product
Winter, windows shut, the house close and still: a few drops of Ravintsara in the diffuser bring a clean, cool breath into the room.
Ravintsara is steam-distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora in Madagascar. It is rich in 1,8-cineole and gentler than our classic Ravensara aromatica. In fact, it may well be the very oil that many authorities in the 1990s and the years after were describing when they wrote of Ravensara aromatica, for the two have often been confused.
Details
- Botanical name: Cinnamomum camphora
- Plant part: leaves
- Method: steam distillation
- Origin: Madagascar
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
Diffuse a few drops on a winter day, or dilute it in a carrier oil for topical use, where it is gentler than Ravensara. Like all oils high in 1,8-cineole, it should not be used around children under two. Keep it out of reach of children, and store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, decanting a half-empty bottle into a smaller, full one.
A clean breath from Madagascar, for the closed-in months.
