DESCRIPTION
Rosemary is an herb that is steam distilled from the flowers and leaves. Originally from the Mediterranean coast, it is now produced in Spain and France. Some of the chemical components in rosemary are borneol, camphene and camphor.
Rosemary essential oil may have a remarkable effect on the central nervous system. It is an excellent brain stimulant, therefore great for inhaling to assist in achieving mental clarity.
This oil is one that should be a part of every traveler’s kit, whether you are flying or driving. Its potential effects on the foggy and fatigued mind of the weary traveler are amazing. Its sharp quality also lends it to use when respiratory problems occur (common cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, etc). For these conditions, rosemary works best when used in a steam inhalation. Rosemary is thought to be a good analgesic to help relieve pain from rheumatism and arthritis, as well as pain from over worked muscles (great in rubs for athletes).
It blends well with Basil essential oil, Citronella essential oil, Cedarwood essential oil, Cinnamon essential oil, Frankincense essential oil, Lavender essential oil, Peppermint essential oil, Petitgrain essential oil, and Thyme essential oil.
