Remember Rosemary

I absolutely love Rosemary essential oil!

This is one of my favorite to use for healthy hair growth, memory, and I hear it is great for cooking! If you don't have fresh Rosemary, replace about a tablespoon with 1-2 drops (taste to get right amount). Perfect for roasts, soups, and stews.


Rosemary has a woody, evergreen like scent and is part of the mint family. In recent research, it’s been shown to boost nerve growth factor and support the healing of neurological tissue and brain function. 
A study was conducted out of Meikai University, School of Dentistry in Japan that interestingly evaluated how 5 minutes of lavender and rosemary aromatherapy affected the salivary cortisol levels (the “stress” hormone) of 22 healthy volunteers.

Native to the Mediterranean, the wooded evergreen has been used in folk medicine for thousands of years to:

• Improve memory
• Soothe digestive uses
• Relieve muscle aches and pains

More recently, it has become a popular ingredient in many skin and hair care products due to its cleansing, germ destroying properties and researchers are starting to dig deeper into its medicinal characteristics.
