Rosemary Verbenone
Rosemary essential oil has become one of the most popular essential oils used in aromatherapy, due to its wide array of health benefits. The oil assists with hair care, skincare, circulation of energy and blood, and muscle aches and pains. The verbenone variety of rosemary is a less intense fragrance than the cineol variety, which allows clarifying of ones emotions.
The name rosemary is derived from the Latin words ros marinus, which means, Rose of the Sea. Rosemary essential oil has been used since the 13th century, as it was a symbol of fidelity, wisdom, and love. Rosemary was also thought to bring protection from diseases, as it was an ingredient used in the well-known thieves oil. Bandits used thieves oil in the 15th century for protection from the plague, as they ransacked many plague-infected homes.
Rosemary is excellent for stimulating the conscious mind, opening the Heart Chakra, increasing vitality, and maintaining mental and physical health!

Bath: Place 8 drops into 3 handfuls of bath salt and disperse, or add 8 drops to vodka or whole milk and disperse.
