Pure Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary oil smells almost exactly like the herb: sharp, green and camphor-like, with a woody edge underneath. It's bracing rather than relaxing, which is why people tend to run it in the morning or in a study rather than at bedtime. 

It's steam distilled from the leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis, now formally reclassified as Salvia rosmarinus. Both names appear on supplier documents and refer to the same plant. 

This one comes in 30 ml rather than the 10 ml we use for most oils. Rosemary gets used in larger quantities than a floral or a citrus, particularly by people mixing their own hair and scalp oils, so the bigger bottle saves reordering.

The benefits of rosemary essential oil are endless, from basic skin care to hair care. This pure rosemary essential oil has come to the forefront of appreciation due to its tendency to help hair grow fast; it is taken as one of the best rosemary oils for hair growth in Australia. In addition, it is known that rosemary aromatherapy oil improves memory, concentration, and clarity of mind. Rosemary oil for hair Australia will help nourish your hair using a natural approach by strengthening your hair and thickening it.

• Scalp and hair oil: 6 to 12 drops per 30 ml of jojoba, castor or coconut oil, which is a 1 to 2% dilution. Massage it in, leave it 20 to 30 minutes, then shampoo out. Twice a week is plenty. 
• Shampoo or conditioner: 2 to 3 drops in a palmful as you wash. Simple, and it rinses straight off. 
• Diffuser: 4 to 5 drops per 100 ml of water. The scent is sharp and clean, which suits a kitchen, study or home office. 
• Massage blend: 6 to 12 drops per 30 ml of carrier oil. It pairs well with peppermint or eucalyptus after exercise. 
• Steam bowl: 1 to 2 drops in a bowl of hot, not boiling, water. Keep your eyes closed and your face at a comfortable distance. 
• Blending: rosemary works with peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon, lavender, cedarwood and lemongrass.
