10 ml Rosemary Essential Oil

Latin Name: Rosmarinus Officinalis. Part of Plant Used: Flowering Tops. Source: Tunisia. Extraction Method: Steam Distillation.

The Essential Oil of rosemary is expertly steam distilled from the flowers, stems, and leaves of the plant. According to the British Pharmacopoeia, the oil derived from the flowering tops is recognised for its superior quality compared to that extracted from the stems and leaves, which are commonly used in commercial variants. The aroma of rosemary essential oil is rich, woody, and herbal, providing a refreshing and stimulating experience for the mind in aromatherapy.

This versatile oil offers a range of benefits, including:

• Support for wound and burn healing
• Relief from colds and flu
• Combating fatigue
• Assistance with digestive issues
• Alleviation of headaches
• Support for respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis
• Relief from gout and rheumatism
• Promotion of liver and gall bladder health
• Assistance with water retention and poor circulation

For an indulgent massage, rosemary oil is often blended with a base oil such as almond, apricot kernel, or hazelnut oil. It is also beneficial for hair care, as it is believed to enhance circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth.

Note: This oil is intended for external use only. Avoid if pregnant, or if you suffer from high blood pressure or epilepsy.

Rosemary has a rich history, cherished since ancient times. It was once believed to enhance memory, symbolising fidelity and often used in weddings, funerals, and religious ceremonies. A sprig of rosemary, beautifully tied with ribbons, was presented to wedding guests as a token of love and loyalty. Additionally, ‘Hungary water,’ made from fresh rosemary tops steeped in wine, was created for the Queen of Hungary, who is said to have experienced a remarkable recovery from paralysis thanks to this remedy.
