Common Uses:
Did you know? Cinnamomum camphora from Madagascar posseses a significant divergence in chemical composition compared to the same species grown in other parts of the world, such as Asia. In Madagascar, the Cinnamomum camphora tree produces Ravintsara oil, which is notably high in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) and almost entirely devoid of camphor. Malagasy Cinnamomum camphora’s unique chemical profile is attributed to the island's distinct climate, soil, and ecological conditions, which influence the biosynthesis of specific compounds in the plant. As a result, our Ravintsara oil is highly valued for its respiratory and immune-supporting properties, setting it apart from other essential oils derived from the same species elsewhere. This distinctiveness highlights the profound impact of “terroir” – the environmental factors contributing to a plant's characteristics – on essential oil composition.
