Ravintsara (Ho Wood) Essential Oil

Breathe deeply and feel relaxed from your head to your toes with Ravintsara Essential Oil. Also commonly known as Ho Wood, Ho Leaf, or Camphor oil, this essential oil offers a deep, velvety, camphorous aroma that’s reminiscent of eucalyptus and citrus. It promotes mental clarity while offering numerous healing benefits.

Ravintsara oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the Cinnamomum camphora tree, which is native to Madagascar. It has been used for generations in traditional medicine thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. If you or someone in your family has a respiratory illness, Ravintsara can act as a natural expectorant to relieve chest and sinus congestion.

Other Ravintsara essential oil benefits include purifying the air from germs and bacteria, relieving pain in sore muscles and stiff joints, and promoting digestive health. When diluted with a carrier oil, Ravintsara (Ho Wood) oil can be massaged into the lower abdomen to relieve discomfort caused by gas, bloating, menstrual cramps, and more. This essential oil also offers benefits for skincare and haircare.

Ravintsara essential oil uses for aromatherapy include reducing stress and anxiety, lifting brain fog, and boosting focus and concentration. Try diffusing it to increase your productivity at work or school by letting the earthy aroma help you tune out distractions. Ravintsara also promotes creativity, motivation, and self-confidence.
