Certified organic distilled and one of the most aroma-therapeutic antiviral oils from Madagascar, Ravensara is a powerful antiviral aid for respiratory conditions, flu, and in topical blends targeting viral skin problems, most notably shingles and herpes. Many aromatherapy experts regard blending Ravensara with the carrier oil
