Essential Oil 50ml - Rosemary

Latin Name: Rosmarinus Officinalis

Part of the Plant Used: Flowering Caps

Origin : Tunisia

Extraction Method: Steam Distillation

Rosemary essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers, stems, and leaves of the herb. According to the British Pharmacopoeia, oil distilled from the flowering tops is superior to that obtained from the stems and leaves, which is where almost all commercial oil is reportedly distilled. Rosemary essential oil has a woody and herbal scent and is used in aromatherapy to refresh and stimulate the mind.

This oil is useful for treating wounds, burns, colds, flu, fatigue, digestive problems, headaches, asthma, bronchitis, gout, rheumatism, liver and gallbladder problems, fluid retention, and poor circulation. For massage, rosemary oil is often mixed with one or two carrier oils, such as almond, apricot, or hazelnut oil. It's good for hair, as it's said to increase circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth. Never use this oil internally, and avoid it if you are pregnant or suffer from high blood pressure or epilepsy.

Rosemary was well-known and used in the ancient world. It was believed to improve memory, so it became a symbol of fidelity and was used in weddings, funerals, and other religious ceremonies. A sprig of rosemary was beautifully tied with ribbons and given to wedding guests as a symbol of love and loyalty. "Hungarian water," made from fresh rosemary soaked in wine for a few days, was made for the Queen of Hungary and is said to have cured her of paralysis.
