Latin Name: Rosmarinus Officinalis. Part of Plant Used: Flowering Tops. Source: Tunisia. Extraction Method: Steam Distillation.

The oil is steam distilled from the flowers, stems and leaves. Its aroma is woody and herbal and it is used in aromatherapy to refresh and stimulate the mind. According to the British Pharmacopoeia, oil distilled from the flowering tops is superior to that obtained from stems and leaves.

For massage, rosemary oil is often mixed with a base oil such as almond, apricot kernel or hazelnut. It is said to increase circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth. Never use this oil internally, and avoid it if you're pregnant or suffer from high blood pressure or epilepsy.

Rosemary was well known in the ancient world and was believed to improve memory, becoming a symbol of fidelity in weddings, funerals and ceremonies. A traditional preparation called "Hungary water," made from fresh rosemary tops soaked in wine, was famous in historical accounts.
