    Health Benefits Ravensara Essential Oil

    January 16, 2016 in Essential Oils

    health benefits ravensara essential oilWhat is Ravensara oil and what is it used for?

    This oil is derived from a plant that grows in Madagascar. Undoubtedly, it’s of the least-known aromatic oils, unlike the more popular peppermint, lavender and tea tree oils.

    Ravensara essential oil is probably not the first oil that someone would buy, especially as they’re just beginning to explore how aromatherapy can help improve their physical and emotional health.

    But I like to write about essential oils that are out of the ordinary. That’s because aromatherapy seems to work better for me if I rotate the oils I use.

    Benefits of Rotating Essential Oils

    At least for me, there are benefits to using a relatively rare oil. I’ve found that if I stick to the same oils, day after day, they start to lose their punch. I’m not sure why this happens, but it might have something to do with the receptors in our brain becoming less sensitive to a particular aroma. Or, it may be because your body no longer “needs” this particular plant.

    But mixing up your oils is believed to this problem. Then, when you return to an oil previously used, it’s as if it’s brand new again.

    My holistic health practitioner tells me it’s good to rotate herbal remedies. Or to stop using them when they don’t seem to work, or I don’t want to take them anymore. This, she explains, is a good indication they’ve done their job. They can be put away, until they’re useful again.

    I was not able to find any studies on the health benefits of ravensara essential oil. So I’ll have to stick to writing about its potential uses, and how it’s been used for ages as a folk remedy. Please remember I’m not a licensed healthcare professional. So this article is for information and discussion purposes only, written from the perspective of someone who uses essential oils every day.

    Many essential oils have similar benefits, at least on paper. But certain types of oils work better with some people than with others. So you never know what any oil will do for you until you try it.

    Ravensara Essential Oil Uses

    Ravensara is considered a soothing and relaxing oil. This could be beneficial if you have troubling relaxing or suffer from insomnia. Working on an emotional level, some aromatherapy experts believe it can help banish mild depression and help you see various situations in a new light.

    This oil is also considered a general body tonic. It’s been reported to have a long history of use for this purpose in traditional Madagascar medicine.

    Edens Garden is one of a handful of companies that sell this relatively rare oil. Founded in 2009, this family-run business has become one of the most recognized names in essential oils. It sells directly to the consumer, instead of through multilevel marketing channels. All of its oil are from plants grown without pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals.

    Here are some of the other ways ravensara oil could potentially be used:

    • Similar to other aromatics, ravensara is believed to have germ-fighting capabilities. Essential oils can be diluted with a carrier oil (1 drop to two teaspoons of carrier) and applied to closed wounds, to fight infections. I also like to put a drop or two of essential oil on my kitchen sponge to wipe down my counter after cutting meat. Essential oils can also be put in a cold air diffuser during flu season.
    • The website Organic Facts notes that ravensara oil is good for fighting depression. For a mild case of the blues, you could diffuse this oil and inhale it. Other aromatics have been studied for their possible mood elevating properties. For serious depression, they should not be a substitute for medical care.
    • Organic Facts also notes that ravensara works as a diuretic. It’s also believed to have antispasmodic properties.
