Rosemary Organic Essential Oil 50ml

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

The essential oil of the rosemary herb is steam distilled from the flowers, stems, and leaves of the plant. According to the British Pharmacopoeia, the oil distilled from the flowering tops is superior to that obtained from the stem and leaves, where nearly all commercial oils are said to be distilled. The aroma of rosemary essential oil is both woody and herbal, making it a delightful choice in aromatherapy for refreshing and stimulating the mind.

This versatile oil is beneficial for:

• wounds
• burns
• colds
• flu
• fatigue
• digestive troubles
• headaches
• asthma
• bronchitis
• gout
• rheumatism
• liver and gall bladder problems
• water retention
• poor circulation

For a massage, rosemary oil can be blended with a base oil such as almond, apricot kernel, or hazelnut oil. It is also known to be beneficial for hair, as it may increase circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth.

Important: Never use this oil internally, and avoid it if you are pregnant or suffer from high blood pressure or epilepsy.

Rosemary has a rich history, well-known and cherished in the ancient world. It was believed to enhance memory, making it a symbol of fidelity. This connection led to its use in weddings, funerals, and other religious ceremonies, where a sprig of rosemary was beautifully tied with ribbons and gifted to wedding guests as a token of love and loyalty. The famed ‘Hungary water,’ made from fresh rosemary tops soaked in wine, was created for the Queen of Hungary, who is said to have recovered from paralysis thanks to this remarkable infusion.
