Rosemary rosmarinus
officinalis

Rosemary
is a shrubby evergreen bush, that can grow up to 6 ft. It has
narrow silvery-green leaves with pale blue flowers. It is
highly aromatic, both a refreshing and stimulating herbal scent.
Depending on the chemotype it may be quite camphoraceous.
The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation using the fresh flowers and leaves. Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean, but is now grown in California, Russia, the Middle East, Britain, Portugal, and China. Although, the main producers are France, Spain, Croatia, Tunisia and Morocco. The oil is usually colorless, but may be pale yellow. There are three principal chemotypes: camphor-borneol from Spain, 1,8-cineole from Tunisian, and verbenone from France. |
Rosemary oil blends well with other herbal oils such as basil, lavender, and myrtle. It also works beautifully with most citrus and some spice oils. It is considered a top note when used in perfumery with a medium to high odor intensity.
Rosemary is one of the best known and most used of aromatic herbs and one of the earliest used for food, magic, and medicine. It was used in the Middle Ages to drive away evil spirits and protect against the plague. Nicholas Culpeper claimed it could aid all ills of the head and brain.
It has been used for a wide range of complaints including; headache, liver congestion, muscular and reheumatic problems, circulatory problems, and respiratory disorders. It is also beneficial for skin and hair. Rosemary aids concentration and strengthens mental clarity and awareness.
While many sources caution against using rosemary essential oil if you have high blood pressure, Neal's Yard Remedies Essential Oils by Susan Curtis states that there is in fact no evidence to support this view. Rosemary is non-toxic, non-irritant in dilution, and non-sensitizing.
