Rosemary Essential Oil - Rosemarinus Officinalis (10ml)

Origin: Regarded as sacred by many early civilisations, Rosemary essential oil was first favoured by the Egyptians, and was also popular with the Greeks and the Romans who believed it symbolised love and death. The practice of burning Rosemary in hospital wards in France persisted into the 20th century and ironically was abandoned about the time when modern research proved its strong antiseptic properties. An evergreen shrub, originally a native of the Mediterranean region, it grows to about 2 metres and has grey-green leaves with pale, pastel blue flowers. The clear oil is steam-distilled from the flowers and leaves and has a powerful, warm, woody aroma

Source: Originally a native of the Mediterranean region, it is now grown in California, Russia, the Middle East, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, China and former Yugoslavia
