Hemani Rosemary Oil 30ml

Rosemary oil

Rosemary essential oil comes from the leaves and flowers of the popular rosemary herb (Rosmarinus officinalis) and is a refreshing and invigorating oil with a woody herbal scent.

Rosemary oil contains the active compounds carnosol, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid which haveanti-oxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and expectorant properties. It can be used aromatically and topically to reduce spasms and inflammation of the airways as well as a treatment for coughing, asthma and bronchitis.

It can boost memory and focus, which has been linked to one of its active compounds called 1,8-cineole. This makes rosemary oil useful when driving long distances, studying and working late.

Rosemary oil may reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol which results in a calming oil that may treat anxiety. It is also an effective insect and mosquito repellent.

Directions for use

Dilute 2-3 drops of rosemary oil with a carrier oil and massage it onto the skin, muscles and joints to treat inflammation and pain. You can also add 4-5 drops to warm water for a soothing bath.

Inhale rosemary oil to boost memory, open the airways and repel insects, by adding 3 drops to an oil diffuser or burner, or rubbing some oil onto the chest and pulse points. This oil also blends well with lavender, cardamom, chamomile, peppermint and geranium oil.
