Description

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. It has grey-green leaves and 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.

Skin Care: It has traditionally been used in skin and hair care for many hundreds of years. It is said to be good for acne, dermatitis, eczema and varicose veins. Rosemary is believed to have a refreshing, invigorating affect on the skin. It is also said to help promote healthy hair, and alleviate the problems of dandruff and head lice.

Circulation, muscles and joints: This natural oil is said to be very good for treating tired, stiff and overworked muscles and therefore can benefit sports people and those involved in very physical work. It can also alleviate gout, water retention and poor circulation.

Respiratory system: Rosemary essential oil is said to be beneficial for respiratory problems ranging from the common cold, catarrh, sinusitis through to asthma. For these it is best to use it as a steam inhalation.

Nervous System: Rosemary is an excellent tonic for the heart, liver and gallbladder and is reputed to help lower the cholesterol levels in the blood. The stimulant affect of Rosemary on the central nervous system is very marked and for this reason it is used where there is loss or reduction of functions such as loss of smell, speech impediment or damage to the nerve cells. Rosemary has also long been associated with improving memory and can help mental clarity.

Mixing Oils: Rosemary blends well with Lavender, Citronella, Thyme, Basil, Pine, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Petitgrain, Cinnamon and other spice oils.
