It strengthens immunity
Its properties inhibit the inflammatory action of the organism and strengthen its immunity. Applied locally, it alleviates the symptoms of shingles linked to a weakened immune system. Its protective potential against viruses make it a valuable ally in epidemics.
It is disinfectant
Diffused in essential oil, it cleans the air, helps prevent contamination and better recover in the event of physical and nervous fatigue and convalescence.
It protects from the evils of winter
A few drops of EO to breathe on a handkerchief or placed under the nose or on a sugar can protect against infections and winter viruses but also effectively relieve symptoms (colds, sinusitis, tonsillitis, flu, etc.).
It relieves aches
Whether in a hot bath or massage with oil, EO has an anti-inflammatory action on stiffness and joint pain thanks to its concentration in eucalyptol and alpha-terpineol which facilitate skin penetration. It activates blood circulation.
It facilitates sleep
Indicated in cases of anxiety, depression and insomnia, its essential oil facilitates falling asleep applied inside the wrists or massages on the solar plexus mixed with sweet almond oil.
Warning ! Ravintsara essential oil is not recommended for skin or oral absorption in pregnant women and young children.
The recipe: the infusion of “good leaves”
Ravintsara is also effective in herbal tea although this use is unknown! Infused for ten minutes, its leaves are delicious and its effects, although milder, are present. You can sweeten it lightly with rapadura (very raw brown sugar with a slight licorice taste) and consume it from morning to night in winter.
