Rosemary, scientifically known as Rosmarinus officinalis (the medicinal rosemary), is an evergreen shrub, particularly aromatic, a member of the mint family, endemic to the Mediterranean regions. It has significant applications in folk medicine and psychology. Its essential oil is collected through steam distillation of the flowers at the top of the plant and is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, woody, camphor-like scent.

It combines very well with:

• Basil
• Cedar
• Geranium
• Ginger
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Mint

The essential oil of Rosemary possesses remarkable therapeutic properties, acting as a tonic for the nervous system and particularly helpful for memory. Externally, it is used to relieve muscle pain, sciatica, and neuralgia, as it relaxes and warms the muscles and joints.

Additionally, it has significant antiseptic and antibacterial action, combating bronchitis, runny nose, and colds. It also helps relieve symptoms of dyspepsia and bloating.

It is recognized for its rejuvenating properties on hair, stimulating follicles in cases of premature balding and combating dandruff. Ideal for oily skin with acne.

In aromatherapy, it contributes to enhancing concentration and positive thinking.
