Raven essential oil uses

While famous for its respiratory benefits, it actually has many uses. Here are the Top 7 applications.

Blocked nose breathing problems

You can apply diluted Raven essential oil topically on your chest and throat area when you have a stuffy nose. You can also inhale directly from the bottle or diffuse in a close room a couple of drops to soothe your lungs. You need less than 1 drop on your palm (yes. It is strong), rub it together then cup your face and take a breath. However, I personally like it to be less direct by applying it on the palm, then cup my throat and rub it from top to bottom.

Best oil for foot massage

Apply Raven essential oil after a workout for sore muscles. Dilute and apply topically to your muscles and massage them for a couple of minutes. This is perfect for deep tissue massage as you gently but deeply press the affected area. The oil can be hot too, therefore it is better to dilute it first.

Natural bath soak

After a long day at work, you could use a soothing soak at home. Add half a cup of Epsom salt with 5 drops of Raven essential oil, toss it into your tub for a pampering bath as it breathes a new life to your body. It is one of the best ways to prepare yourself for deep sleep.

Deep Sleep diffuser blend

Raven essential oil will be able to enhance your sleep by diffusing it. Hey, quality is more important than quantity. 6 hours sleep with 4 hours deep sleep is way better than 8 hours sleep with only 1-hour deep sleep. Just around 5 drops in your Young Living diffuser is enough to intensify your quality of sleep.

Essential oil chest rub

If you have kids, you know how important it is to have a chest rub ready. Kid-safe homemade chest rub using Raven essential oil is literally the best thing I have discovered on my oiling journey.

Add 10-15 drops of Raven into a 10ml roller bottle and fill the rest with carrier oils. You can apply it to your kids’ chest and even yours as a safe homemade chest rub.

Essential oils for focus and energy

Another way to use Raven essential oil is by diffusing it while working. The refreshing aromatic experience, when diffused, will stimulate focus and give a boost to energy.

The naturally occurring components of methyl salicylate, menthol, and eucalyptol provide an exhilarating and empowering experience. Apparently, there is a specific essential oil for kids for this exact purpose. Check out this post.

Musty smell in bedroom

One of the easiest ways to freshen up a musty room is by diffusing 4-5 drops of Raven essential oil. You can also DIY your home spray with a cup of water, half cup of witch hazel, 10 drops of Raven, and 5 drops of Tea Tree Oil. Spray it in the stinky and stuffy closets all over your home. However, this is just a remedy. To prevent the room from getting musty, we need to control the humidity in the space as well such as providing good ventilation. But if you live in a tropical country where the air is damp all year long whether you are indoor or outdoor, you might want to consider a dehumidifier. The musty smell comes from the growth of fungus and it may pose a health risk if remain untreated.
