When you think of Raven, think respiratory support. Raven is a blend of Ravintsara, Peppermint, Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, and Wintergreen essential oils, and is very similar to the ingredients found in over-the-counter vapor rub creams. Ravintsara is distilled from the leaves of the Camphor tree, giving Ravintsara and Camphor similar properties. That, mixed with the Eucalyptus and Wintergreen creates a cooling sensation when applied to the chest and is a great support tool for any upper respiratory issues. If you have little ones at home, please use this blend with caution. Raven is recommended to use in children that are at least 6 years of age. If you need an alternative to Raven, you can substitute R.C. for similar uses and benefits.
For quick respiratory support, add a drop or two of Raven into your palms, rub them together, and inhale deeply.
If you’re feeling the crud, mix a drop or two of Raven with some coconut oil or your favorite lotion and rub onto your chest. You can also add a drop or two of Lemon and/or Thieves for extra support!
For an on-the-go option, add 5-10 drops each of Raven, Lemon, and Frankincense into a 10-ml roller, and fill the rest with your favorite carrier oil (I like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil-check out my favorite oil supplies here). Not into DIY? Check out the pre-made Breathe Again roll-on for similar benefits!
Make a warm compress with a drop or two of Raven and place over your face, throat or chest. When you’re in the shower, add a drop or two to the shower floor or on a washcloth for a steamy, spa-like atmosphere. If baths are more your thing, add a few drops to your bath water along with some Epsom salts!
Raven is great to use for respiratory support before a workout! Mix a drop or two with a carrier oil and rub on your chest or feet before your next run or lift! It’s also great before a HIIT workout!
Diffuse 5-10 drops of Raven on its own for a eucalyptus, spa-like aroma
Add 3-5 drops of Raven, Lemon, and Thieves to your diffuser when you’re feeling like you need some extra respiratory support
