Ravintsara Essential Oil Certified Organic

Gentle, clearing, and quietly powerful. Ravintsara is one of aromatherapy's most versatile respiratory oils, and one that often surprises people with how much it can do.

Valley of the Moon's Ravintsara is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from Cinnamomum camphora, sourced from Madagascar. Spicy, woody, herbaceous, and sweet, it shares the opening and clearing properties of Eucalyptus Radiata while being milder in character and sweeter in scent. Known for its high 1,8-cineole content, Ravintsara is a go-to for congestion, stuffiness, allergy relief, and immune support, a must-have for cold and flu season and a gentler everyday alternative to Eucalyptus.
