15 Reasons Rosemary Essential Oil Should Be Your New Obsession
If you start singing, “parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme” whenever we mention rosemary, you should spend more time with Rosemary essential oil. Steam-distilled from the needle-like leaves of the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, Rosemary oil brings a fresh, woodsy aroma to everything it touches. But this hardworking herb is more than an earthy scent.
What do you use Rosemary oil for?
The better question is what don’t you use Rosemary for? Infuse everything from your hair care routine to your homemade cleaners with this oil’s complex, robust, energizing aroma.
1. Make a hydrating hair mask.
Warm 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 1 tablespoon honey for about 15 seconds in the microwave. Add 3 drops Rosemary oil and mix together. Apply to the hair shaft, especially the ends, put on a shower cap, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse out the mask, then wash and dry hair as usual.
2. Turn the shower into a spa.
Add 1 drop of Rosemary essential oil to the center of an Easy Breeze™ Awakening Shower Steamer for an extra-invigorating shower time boost!
3. Battle head tension.
Make our DIY head tension roll-on using Peppermint essential oil, Rosemary essential oil, and M-Grain™ essential oil blend.
4. Give bugs the brush-off.
Win the war on bugs while enjoying the great outdoors. Use our Insect Repellent—infused with Rosemary, Citronella, Lemongrass, and other essential oils—to naturally repel bugs. It smells good to people, but not so much to pests.
5. Whip up a savory snack.
Add Rosemary Vitality™ to hummus and pair with carrots, sliced bell peppers, or pita chips for a light, flavorful snack.
6. Take a breather from blemishes.
Is Rosemary oil good for skin? As one of the ingredients in our Maximum Strength Acne Treatment, Rosemary works with Frankincense, Tea Tree, Manuka, and other oils to fight blemishes.
7. Show your scalp some TLC.
Massage a dime-sized amount of V-6™, 2 drops Rosemary essential oil, and 2 drops Tea Tree essential oil into your scalp. Let sit for 10 minutes before rinsing. You’ll love the refreshing aroma, and your hair will love the attention.
