Rosemary Essential Oil from dōTERRA®

About rosemary oil:

Long revered by healers, for its digestive uses, and for soothing sore muscles and joints, rosemary was considered sacred by the ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Hebrew cultures.  Rosemary’s herbaceous and energizing scent is frequently used in aromatherapy, to help reduce nervous tension and fatigue.

Rosemary oil is steam distilled from the flowers and leaves of the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, yielding an oil with a distinctive camphoraceous, herbaceous aroma.  This cineol chemo-type is high in the oxide 1,8 cineol (up to 55%), otherwise known as eucalyptol.

Primary benefits of rosemary oil

Uses for rosemary oil

• Rub topically on bottom of feet or stomach, to support healthy digestion.

How to use:

Rosemary oil is intended for aromatic, topical or dietary use.  It is gentle enough to be used neat.

• Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
• Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl oz of liquid.
• Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area.  While gentle enough to be used neat, dilution with dōTERRA‘s fractionated coconut oil will help to minimize any possible skin sensitivity.  See additional precautions below.
