Le Comptoir Aroma Organic Ravintsara Essential Oil

What is Le Comptoir Aroma Ravintsara Bio Essential Oil 10ml used for?

Ravintsara is a 20 to 30-metre-high tree that grows in the highlands of Madagascar.

Le Comptoir Aroma'sRavintsara Bio Essential Oil stands out for its remarkable expectorant and mucolytic properties. Thanks to its high concentration of 1,8 cineole, it effectively stimulates mucin glands and the ciliomotor activity of bronchial mucous membranes, facilitating the evacuation of secretions and improving mucociliary clearance. Its action on the exocrine glands of the respiratory mucosa also contributes to respiratory oxygenation and increases the kinetics of muco-ciliary transport, particularly beneficial in the sinuses.

Ravintsara essential oil, rich in 1,8 cineole, has an effective anti-inflammatory action, demonstrated in vitro on white blood cells. It reduces inflammatory mediators such as arachidonic acid metabolites and TNF-α, contributing to a significant reduction in pulmonary inflammation. In addition, its cortison-like effect stimulates the pituitary-cortical-adrenal axis, making this essential oil particularly suitable for prolonged inflammatory conditions.

This essential oil demonstrates remarkable antimicrobial activity, acting against Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida albicans, and showing synergistic effects with certain antibiotics on strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Ravintsara essential oil is also renowned for its antiviral properties, thanks in particular to alpha-terpineol and eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), which are effective inhibitors of the main viral proteinase Mpro of SARS-CoV-2, necessary for the reproduction of the coronavirus. These properties make it a valuable tool in the context of public health, particularly in the fight against respiratory infections.

Ravintsara essential oil is also a neurotonic and stimulant, offering muscle-relaxing and analgesic effects. It plays an immunomodulating role by increasing βgamma-globulins, and has antifungal and hypotensive properties. Finally, it stands out for its antioxidant potential, protecting DNA against damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Le Comptoir Aroma, the specialist aromatherapy laboratory, also offers the Gorge Apaise et Adoucit spray at the best price in our online pharmacy.
