A balanced and complex aroma, with a slight citrus and anise-like undertone. It is reported that adding a small amount of Ravensara lends intelligence to a blend, directing the action of the other oils. Considered a nerve tonic. Also used against herpes virus.
Native to Madagascar and deeply embedded in traditional Malagasy medicine.
Pairs well with top notes like Eucalyptus, Lavender, or Clary Sage, and middle notes like Rosemary, Marjoram, or Niaouli. Valued for respiratory, immune, antiviral, and muscle relief blends.
