Rosemary is a valuable essential oil for respiratory problems, helping conditions like the common cold, catarrh, asthma and sinusitis. It also acts to relieve pain in rheumatism, arthritis and tired, stiff or overworked muscles. Rosemary stimulates blood circulation, improving low blood pressure and helping relieve cold feet, tired or weak legs and circulatory problems in the extremities. In the digestive area it helps to relieve dyspepsia, flatulence and abdominal distention. Rosemary helps lower high blood sugar and aids arteriosclerosis, probably by overcoming insulin resistance. Topically, rosemary has traditionally been used in shampoos and hair treatments to stimulate blood circulation to the scalp to help promote hair growth. Emotionally it renews enthusiasms and bolsters self-confidence. In the nervous system it promotes mental clarity and awareness, stimulates the brain and helps improve memory. For those who lack faith in their own potential and tend to doubt their every action, rosemary can help boost their confidence and help develop a sense of worth. It helps one find his or her own path. It is known to enhance the spiritual dedication of love rather than the experience of romantic ecstasy.

WARNINGS:

Rosemary’s stimulating action is not recommended for people with epilepsy or high blood pressure. Avoid during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
