Aromatherapy Uses
Rosemary essential oil is a popular oil in Aromatherapy where it revives,
warms, stimulates and restores. Excellent for refreshing tired muscles, feet and
mind, allowing concentration. One notable characteristic of this oil is
that it can provide effective pain relief without the sedative properties of
many other oils that provide pain relief. Perfect in sports rubs to maintain
suppleness. Helps combat water retention and cellulite. Good hair tonic. An
'ideal pick me up'. Combats fatigue and clears stuffy atmosphere. Rosemary
