Kathi KevilleA large tree from Madagascar, where the seeds are a popular spice, ravensare is a personal favorite of ours for any infection.

Extraction: Distilled from leaves and sometimes from fruit and bark. The scent is similar to eucalyptus, but softer and more refined.
Medicinal Action: Ravensare is an antiseptic treatment for flu, bronchitis, viral infections, shingles, viral hepatitis and sinus congestion. It also helps relieve muscle fatigue.
