Rosemary has been valued as a medicinal herb since ancient times with remedies passed down from the Egyptians, Romans, Hebrews and Ancient Greeks who believed it to improve memory and concentration – an effect now supported by research. Research also supports their belief in its use in pain relief
Chemical components with established benefits that are present in Rosemary essential oil include Cineole, alpha-Pinene and Camphor. Cineole and alpha-Pinene have renewing and boosting properties. Pinene and Camphor are known to repel insects, as well as providing Rosemary’s stimulating properties. The herbaceous scent of Rosemary means it blends well with citrus oils, florals and wood scents.
