Rosemary, derived from the Latin 'ros maris', which means "dew of the sea."

Rosemary essential oil has a a strong, clean, and refreshing scent. Cosmetically, it encourages dry, mature skin to produce its own oil and also treats acne for those with dry skin. It was used in "Hungary Water" and for good reason. The application of Rosemary:

• Relieves mental and physical fatigue by stimulating circulation and supporting the central nervous system.
• Provides support in stressful situations.
• Assists in meditation.
• Helps with headaches, migraines, neuralgia, mental fatigue, and nervous exhaustion.

Pamper yourself with the aroma of Rosemary essential oil. Add a few drops of oil to your favorite soap, lotion, massage oil, or aromatherapy diffuser. I've made a salt scrub with Rosemary and Sweet Orange that's pretty yummy. It's of the "invigorating" variety.

Blends well with these other oils: Cedarwood, Geranium, Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Sweet Orange.

Do not use Rosemary oil if you are pregnant or have asthma, epilepsy, or high blood pressure.

1/2 fl oz bottle with drop dispenser in the neck.

General Safety Instructions: Use extreme caution when using essential oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using an essential oil that you've never used before.

Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should always be treated with care and respect. Store out of direct sunlight. For external use only. Always dilute as essential oils may cause skin irritation if not diluted properly.
