Native to the Mediterranean region, Rosemary Essential Oil’s fresh herbaceous scent is frequently used in aromatherapy to improve concentration, focus, memory, and boost energy. Its minty undertones make this energizing oil not only brain-boosting but also stimulating the scalp to enhance hair growth and strength while soothing itchiness.

Harvesting Rosemary leaves is done in hot, dry weather and then dried in the sun for three days, bundled and transported to the distillery for processing.

One of the top benefits of Rosemary Essential Oil is definitely its stimulating & mood-boosting abilities. Add 8 to 10 drops in a diffuser or burner for the ultimate aromatherapy session. 

Hair Care: 

So, can rosemary oil help with hair growth? Experts say yes. “The rosemary plant contains carnosic acid which is known to heal nerve damage, tissue damage, and improve cellular turnover,” says Marnie Nussbaum, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist. “Therefore, it encourages nerve growth and improves blood circulation. The reason blood circulation is so important to hair growth is that without a proper blood supply, the follicles do not get the nutrients they need to grow the hair and they can die off.”

Rosemary Essential oil helps enhance beard growth by invigorating hair follicles. Furthermore, it helps create the ultimate growth conditions by keeping the skin healthy, hydrated, keeping acne under control, and preventing infections.

History: 

Rosemary is a fragrant herb that is native to the Mediterranean and receives its name from the Latin words “ros” (dew) and “marinus” (sea), which means “dew of the Sea.” It also grows in England, Mexico, the USA, and northern Africa, namely in Morocco. Known for its distinctive fragrance that is characterized by an energizing, evergreen, citrus-like, herbaceous scent, Rosemary Essential Oil is derived from the aromatic herb Rosmarinus Officinalis, a plant belonging to the Mint family, which includes Basil, Lavender, Myrtle, and Sage. Its appearance, too, is similar to Lavender with flat pine needles that have a light trace of silver.

Historically, Rosemary was considered sacred by ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Hebrews, and Romans, and it was used for numerous purposes. The Greeks wore Rosemary garlands around their heads while studying, as it was believed to improve memory, and both the Greeks and the Romans used Rosemary in almost all festivals and religious ceremonies, including weddings, as a reminder of life and death. In the Mediterranean, Rosemary leaves and Rosemary Oil were popularly used for culinary preparation purposes, while in Egypt the plant, as well as its extracts, were used for incense.

Pets:  

Using essential oils on pets: 

The ability to tolerate essential oils is dependent on many factors, including plant species, product, dose, and route of application. Essential oil use cases show the most significant risk of toxicity is from direct skin application on your pet’s skin – these same cases also share that a large volume was applied directly and neat (pure without a carrier) to the pet’s skin. Knowing that there is a risk in using these oils to your pet’s fur or skin, we strongly recommend consultation with your veterinarian or animal care specialist prior to applying or exposure to any of our products.

If you’ve chosen to use essential oils around your pet, we first recommend taking note of your pets behavior, contacting your vet with any concerns, and the below list of R?t products that we feel are the most pet-friendly:

Single note essential oils:

• Chamomile
• Frankincense
• Clary Sage

Should you choose to use your ultrasonic diffuser in the presence of your pet, we recommend:

• Using only small amounts of essential oils. 1-5 drops are our recommendation
• Ensure the space is well ventilated with a window open slightly for fresh air
• Always keep a door open so that the animal can enter and exit the room easily
• Take note of how your pet responds at all times and if you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use and move them to a well-ventilated space
• Be particularly mindful of pets that are in cages or enclosed spaces (including birds and small rodents) as they cannot leave the room if they become uncomfortable
