Rosemary French Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Rosmarinus officinalis
Plant Part: Herb
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: France
Description: An evergreen shrub with numerous branches; ash-colored scaly bark and leathery, thick leaves, which are lustrous and dark green above, and white underneath.
Color: Pale Yellow
Common Uses: Its best-known use is as facial oil for extremely dry skin. It is less stimulating generally and much less of a mental stimulant, so it can be used in the evening. Rosemary essential oil nourishes the scalp and keeps hair looking healthy and shiny. Many users claim that it promotes hair growth, though there is not any medical evidence to support this argument. It normalizes excessive oil secretions and improves most scalp problems, particularly dandruff and seborrhea. Rosemary oil is also helpful in treating cellulite. This essential oil balances intense emotions and controls mood swings. It lifts spirits and counters depression. It assists in managing stress and overcoming stress-related disorders and nervous exhaustion.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Medium to Strong
Blends well with: Rosemary French blends well with basil, bergamot, cedarwood, frankincense, ginger, lemon, orange and peppermint
Aromatic Scent: Rosemary French has a Fresh, Strong, Woody, Balsamic, Herbal Minty scent that is less camphoraceous than the Spanish Rosemary.
History: Because it grows in proximity to the sea, it’s name means Dew of the Sea. It’s leaves were traditionally burned in hospitals to purify the air. Rosemary was used as incense by the ancient Romans and according to legend, Mary sheltered the baby Jesus under a rosemary bush.
Cautions: Generally non-toxic and non-sensitizing. Not suitable for people with epilepsy or high blood pressure. Avoid in pregnancy since it is an emmenagogue. Might antidote homeopathic remedies.

Very strong scent, but more minty (think vick's vaporub) than rosemary. Great for when you're under the weather!

I really love this rosemary. Great for so many different blends from a simple mint and eucalyptus blend to the more complex. I like it in a Country French blend that I was inspired to make up that is a best seller. Thanks NDA!

I have heard that rosemary essential oil is a medical wonder. This oil is strong but clean smelling. As a sinus-sufferer, I am looking forward to trying it in steam inhalation.

Absolutely a must for stuffy nose, sore throat and colds.
When added to a bowl of hot water (cover your head with a towel and inhale the vapors),
inhaling the evaporating oil clears the nose and throat immediately,
the head is cleared - beats any cold & sinus medication!

I'll second the comment of this rosemary being strong. Almost reminds me of halls in it's medicinal type scent. Smells a bit minty. Distinct for sure. Excellent quality, and obviously great price.
