In African tradition, Ravensara is known and "The good leaf", and "The oil that heals". We are off to a great start with this one! It grows in the lush and humid evergreen forests of Madagascar where it has been long used for clearing and cleaning the respiratory channels, healing skin irritations, and fighting viruses by the Malagasy people.
It smells FRESH and clean like a YHWH made natural bleach would smell, which is a wonderful way to remember what it is good for-cleaning [out mucus], and killing/fighting germs.
Ravensara is gentle enough to be safe for children and the elderly and can be used neat, but we always recommend using a carrier for better distribution and safety.
