Health Benefits Of Ravensara Essential Oil

Analgesic: The analgesic property of Ravensara oil makes it an effective remedy for many types of pain, including toothache, headache, muscular and joint pain, and earaches.

Anti-Allergenic: This oil itself is non-sensitizing, non-irritating and it reduces the allergic reactions of the body as well. Gradually, it builds a resistance against allergenic substances so the body does not show hyper reactions against them.

Antibacterial & Antimicrobial: Some of the most notorious bacteria and microbes cannot even stand to be near this essential oil. They fear it more than anything and there are sufficient reasons for that. This oil is fatal to the bacteria and microbes and can wipe out entire colonies very efficiently. It inhibits their growth, cures old infections and stops new infections from forming. Therefore, it can be used against diseases resulting from bacterial and viral infections such as food poisoning, cholera, and typhoid.

Antidepressant: This oil is very good for countering depression and giving a boost to positive thoughts and feelings of hope. It uplifts your mood, relaxes the mind and invokes energy and sensations of hope and joy. If this essential oil is systematically administered to patients suffering from chronic depression, it can help them gradually come out of that difficult situation.

Antifungal: Similar to its effect on bacteria and microbes, this oil is very harsh on fungi as well. It inhibits their growth and even kills their spores. Therefore, it can be used against fungal infections in the ears, nose, head, skin and nails.

Antispasmodic: People that are suffering from severe coughs, breathlessness, cramps, diarrhea, pulling pain in abdomen, nervous afflictions, or convulsions due to spasm can find a good remedy in this oil. It fights spasms and induces relaxation in muscles and nerves.

Antiseptic: Sepsis is caused by a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus Aureus, which mainly infects open and unprotected wounds as well as soft and delicate internal organs. Sepsis is a big threat to the lives of newborn babies, as their skin is too delicate to withstand infections. Thousands of babies die every year due to this infection. This bacteria spreads very rapidly and covers the whole body, causing acute pain in the muscles, cramps, abnormal muscular afflictions and contractions, convulsions, fever and swelling.

The Essential Oil of Ravensara has certain components like limonene and methyl eugenol (and others) which do not let this happen by killing this bacteria and inhibiting its growth. It can be ingested to let its effect spread evenly throughout the body.

Antiviral: This efficient bacteria fighter is a virus fighter too. It stops viral growth by rupturing the cyst (the protective coating on the virus) and then killing the virus inside. It is very good for fighting diseases caused by viruses such as the common cold, influenza, measles, mumps, and pox.

Aphrodisiac: The essential oil of Ravensara has been found to be very good for curing frigidity or sexual dysfunction. It enhances the libido and also helps cure erectile dysfunctions.

Disinfectant: What causes infections? Quite simply, bacteria, fungi, virus and protozoa. As you have probably guessed, Ravensara essential oil is able to stop the growth of these bacteria, fungi, virus and protozoa, and can eliminate them as an ideal disinfectant. It is equally effective both internally and externally. It also disinfects the space within its aromatic reach if used in fumigants, vaporizers and sprays. The added benefits are a sweet fragrance and no adverse side effects like many other synthetic disinfectants on the market.

Diuretic: The diuretic property of the essential oil of Ravensara facilitates the removal of waste substances and toxins from the body by increasing urination, both in frequency and in quantity. It also helps to remove excess water, salt and fat from the body, thus keeping it safe from diseases associated with an accumulation of toxins, including rheumatism, gout, arthritic, acne, and boils. It can also reduce dangerous accumulations of water, known as edema, and salt, which can lead to hypertension and water retention in the body. Furthermore, it makes you feel lighter and facilitates digestion as well.

Expectorant: Being an expectorant means being an agent that can dilute or loosen the phlegm or catarrh deposits in the respiratory system and ease their passage out of the body. An expectorant like Ravensara essential oil is necessary in cases of coughs, congestion, asthma & breathing troubles and heaviness in the chest arising from the hardening of phlegm in the bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx and lungs.

Relaxant: The essential oil of Ravensara has been celebrated for centuries due to its relaxing and soothing properties. It is very good at inducing relaxation in cases of tension, stress, anxiety and other nervous and neurological problems. It also calms and soothes nervous afflictions and disorders. Its relaxing effect helps bring healthy and restful sleep to patients suffering from insomnia.
