Raven Essential Oil Benefits and 3 Best Application Methods
Raven Essential Oil Benefits
Raven essential oil is a combination of Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, Ravintsara, and Wintergreen essential oils. It is a chilly, minty blend with sweet undertones, and creates a cooling sensation. This combination of oils provide a soothing aroma when applied to the chest and throat topically. The naturally occurring components eucalyptol, menthol, and methyl salicylate make this essential oil blend a refreshing experience.
Ravintsara is found within the leaves and wood of the camphor tree. This is a large evergreen tree native to regions in southern China and Japan, as well as Taiwan, Korea, and Vietnam. Ravintsara’s gentle aroma pairs perfectly with other essential oils in the mint family, including Peppermint and Wintergreen. The overall smell of Raven is sweetened with a sprinkle of Lemon. This combo creates the sensation of walking through a crisp forest on a winter day.
**Note- due to Raven containing Peppermint Essential Oil, use with caution when pregnant/breastfeeding.
