Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora ct. 1,8-cineole) Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Ravintsara Essential Oil is a powerful, clear, and revitalizing essence steam-distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora trees growing in Madagascar. Known as one of the most effective natural immune-supporting oils, Ravintsara has a crisp, camphoraceous, and slightly sweet aroma that purifies the air and uplifts the mind.
