Rosemary Essential Oil

This essential oil is believed to treat wounds, burns, colds, flu, fatigue, digestive troubles, headaches, asthma, bronchitis, gout, rheumatism, liver and gall bladder problems, water retention and poor circulation. For a massage, rosemary oil is often mixed with a base oil or two like almond, apricot kernel or hazelnut oil. It is good for the hair as 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.

Remember to always dilute essential oils in a base oil if using on the skin - patch test recommended!
