Ravintsara {Cinnamomum Camphora}

Curative. Strengthening. Clarifying.

History:

Also known as the organic Camphor tree, Ravintsara is native to Madagascar. Derived from the Malagasy ravina, meaning leaf, and tsara, meaning good for you, this camphoraceous oil—which, oddly enough, contains no actual camphor—has long been used to combat respiratory illnesses.
