Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) is steam distilled from a perennial shrub with needle-like leaves that can remain evergreen in warmer climates. The botanical, which is part of the mint family, is native to Mediterranean regions and has blue or purple flowers that give it an understated beauty.

The familiar scent of Rosemary essential oil—as well as its robust, herbaceous aroma—has made it popular in aromatic and personal care products. Rosemary essential oil uses include topical application and direct inhalation, and its complex, woodsy aroma can help create an energizing environment and promote a sense of clarity.

In fact, you can find this powerful oil in Young Living’s Thieves® and En-R-Gee™ blends.

Rosemary Essential Oil Uses: Diffuse to freshen the air and enjoy a woodsy, energizing aroma. Combine 1 drop Rosemary with 4 drops V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex. Dip a cotton ball in the solution and apply to a freshly washed face to help cleanse. Add 10–15 drops to shampoo or conditioner for healthier-looking hair.
