Ravintsara essential oil has been cherished by the Malagasy people of Madagascar for decades, celebrated for its powerful antiviral properties. Recently gaining recognition in aromatherapy, it has become a staple in blends designed to purify the air and combat colds or flu. Derived from Cinnamomum camphora rich in cineole, Ravintsara from Madagascar stands apart from its Chinese counterpart, which is high in linalool, offering distinct therapeutic benefits. Thriving in dense, shaded environments, Ravintsara cultivation has embraced permaculture practices, with its trunks serving as natural supports for vanilla orchids. This synergy ensures both sustainability and the exceptional quality of this versatile essential oil.
