Oil Post...Raven vs. RC

In case you missed my Periscope on Tuesday, here is the info I discussed...

RC – blend of 3 types of Eucalyptus, Myrtle, Peppermint, Pine, Lavender, Tsuga and Marjoram

• Contains the naturally occurring constituents - eucalyptol, limonene, linalol, linalol acetate, and camphene (personal research opportunity)
• Rub on feet or chest before exercising to uplift and inspire
• Rub 3 drops on feet before bedtime to encourage a comforting atmosphere
•    Add to V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex to create a spa-like soothing atmosphere with massage
•  Funny that this can be used to uplift and inspire and also to provide a comforting bedtime atmosphere but that’s one of the great things about essential oils- their multiple properties
•  Really good oil for upper respiratory health
•   Encourages throat health when applied topically to the outside of the throat
•  Supports sinus health when applied topically to the outside of the nose, on a q-tip inside the nose and along the sinuses
• Encourages ear health when applied on the bone behind the ear
• Supports circulation throughout the lungs
• Dilates the respiratory passageways
• Opens up the respiratory system for healthy oxygen exchange
• In a nutshell, this oil is pretty useful and effective!

Raven  - blend of Ravensara, Lemon, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Eucalyptus

•  This oil takes it up a notch further from RC…it’s a powerful oil
• Some not-so-well-known facts: Has the ability to support healthy adrenal glands as well as healthy bones, joints, and skin
• Similar to RC, Raven is also great for dilating and strengthening the respiratory system
• Supports a healthy nasal mucous membrane
• Supports healthy lungs and throat when applied topically
• Helps to dilate the respiratory system and open up oxygenating passageways
• Excellent for opening up the respiratory system when diffused or directly inhaled
• Highly effective when used as a suppository or enema with V-6 or a carrier oil – which can directly benefit the lungs within seconds of this application

·         These oils sound a lot alike  and in fact they make great companion oils

o   Powerfully effective and particularly beneficial when used together – alternating between the two

o   Fill a sink with steaming hot water…put Raven, RC and Wintergreen in the water, tent a towel over your head and inhale for a significantly effective tool in opening up the sinuses and increasing lung support

o   Basically RC is a go-to oil for overall upper respiratory health

o   Raven is the oil you want to use when you desire a significant strengthening of your respiratory and lung system health.

o   So if you are looking for some basic respiratory health support, reach for your RC

o   If you are looking for significant, potent and serious lung and respiratory support, reach for your Raven
