Product description:

Rosemary Essential Oil is derived from the herb and exudes a strong scent that is both woody and herbal but fresh, blending well with other essential oils that have herbaceous or citrus aromas, such as Cedarwood, Peppermint, Basil, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange.

Traditional uses for Rosemary included air purification, an application that remains popular today in the form of aromatherapy, especially for managing feelings of stress, for supporting healthy immune function, and for clearing airways to help manage respiratory discomforts. Rosemary Oil's soothing and refreshing scent is also popular for enhancing mood to better manage the discomforts of muscular aches, joint pain, and headaches. The aroma of Rosemary is further reputed to help maintain healthy circulation and digestion to help cleanse and detoxify the body.

Quick and easy recipes:

Massage blend: For a soothing and cleansing massage blend, dilute 10-12 drops of Rosemary Organic Essential Oil in 30 ml (1 oz.) of a preferred carrier oil, then pour the blend into a dark glass bottle. This can be massaged into muscles to promote feelings of relaxation. To enhance concentration, a small amount may be massaged into the back of the neck or into the temples. Alternatively, Rosemary Oil may be blended with other essential oils that are known to be refreshing or clarifying and to help enhance focus, such as an oil from the Mint family.

Diffuser blend: For a refreshing, purifying diffuser recipe with multiple other benefits, add 1-2 drops of Rosemary Organic Essential Oil to a diffuser of personal preference. This helps to clear airways and promote deep breathing, which in turn can help address headaches and calm agitated moods. When the scent of this clarifying oil is diffused, it is reputed to help sharpen mental clarity, thereby improving information retention and memory recall, and encouraging creativity. Alternatively, Rosemary may be combined with other essential oils that are known for enhancing focus, such as Lemon.

Bath blend: For a clarifying bath blend that helps purify the body and invigorate mental energy, dilute 2-3 drops of Rosemary Organic Essential Oil in 1 tablespoon of a preferred carrier oil and ½ cup of Epsom Salts, then add the blend to a warm bath. Before entering the bath, ensure that the salts have completely dissolved. Alternatively, other oils known to enhance feelings of mental energy, such as citrus oils, may be added to this blend.

Caution:

Use well diluted. For topical application, a skin test is recommended prior to use. Avoid contact with eyes. If pregnant or on medication, consult a health-care practitioner before using.
