Nice alternative/addition to Tea Tree and Eucalyptus for respiratory issues. I really like the spicy-sweet scent. It is wonderful in a nebulizing diffuser. I can't wait for my shipment with Rosalina so I can try them out together with a couple drops of Benzoin. EO's like these make being sick a lot sweeter. Thanks NDA!

I read in the reviews that this works for cold sores. That was an understatement. This is incredible. It works better than abreva without the chemicals. Three of us have used it so far with the same amazing results. One was their first cold sore and it had hung on for a week. She only used one application, and it cleared up immediately. So this works even later on in the game if you don't catch it immediately. If you catch it immediately, you don't have to go through hardly anything. I also love the licorice smell and find it to be very relaxing. This is the best of the best!!

I read that this is good for rosacea, so I put it in a skin toner I made, and it worked well. Of course, because I mixed it with other things, I can't be sure how it would have done on its own, but I do really like the smell. I don't actually find it medicinal smelling. I find that it's a little sweet, sharp, minty, and overall pleasant. Definitely worth having!

This stuff is AMAZING!! It kills cold sores dead in their tracks!!! I've never seen anything like it before. One of my customers wanted me to make something for him for a cold sore that had already developed and I made up a lip balm with some of this in it and it stopped the cold sore completely. Everyone should have it. Plus the spicy black licorice scent is kinda cool too :)

I had read that this E.O. was useful in treating viral problems like cold sores. I can attest that if it is applied ( I did it neat) as soon as the tingling begins this E.O. stops this eruption. Absolutely fantastic! The scent is not unpleasant also.

I think this oil is way under estimated, the scent is sweet, spicey & maybe a little medicinal, it has awsome healing ability, I've been making perfumes these days, I use it with frankincense, sandlewood and myrrh & other oils for a guys cologne. I kind of started using it by accident with my colognes, I origanally got it for the excellent healing ability and bought more this is well worth adding to anyones collection.

I used Ravensara in a blend with several other essential oils and crystals for cold and flu. Diffused it and rubbed it on my chest and then applied heat. It is just magical!

I didn't like this oil at first, but now I like it blended with peppermint or spearmint and lavender. I used it all winter in my humidifier to prevent colds and flu (this past winter I didn't get sick once! It probably wasn't just the essential oils, but I was impressed!).

A licorice like smelling oil extremely useful for stress reduction, detoxification and digestion complaints. It has powerful tonic and anti-viral properties and will definitely help with anxiety and nervous fatigue. A very good, helpful oil to use to fight bacterial and viral infections. A must have oil.

I agree with the other review that it has an anise smell to it and also reminds me of a wild minty plant that used to grow near my house. It is a curious scent that adds an interesting note to blends. As far as fragrance goes, it is a nicer and lighter medicine smell than Eucalyptus.

I tried this oil out of curiosity. known as an antibiotic and bacteria inhibitor i wanted to try it in a blend to use after body waxing. in a blend of lavender,niauoli,small amount of thyme and parsley the ravensara added a complex and pleasent dimension to my blend. when i first scented ravensara i wasnt sure i liked it but then i began to blend it and wow! now i love it and use it as well in diffusion for colds,flu and viral infections. has a anise like smell but more medicinal (i love medicinal smells personally). the nail techs in our salon love it for pedicures and smells great when blended with spearmint! so give it a try and you will find it amazing in many different blends. from now on ravensara is one of my must have essential oils.
